Exploring Scandinavian Breeds with Spinning and Weaving
Wednesday 18 March 2026, 10-4pm, with lunch
 
Warwickshire Artisans, Yew Tree Farm Shopping Village, Stratford Road, Wootton Wawen, HENLEY-IN-ARDEN, Warwickshire, B95 6BY
 
In this lovely, relaxing one-day course, you will learn how to work with a selection of Scandinavian Breed wools. Working with textile artist, Penny, you will identify some different wools and other fibres. Choose from Icelandic, Norwegian, Finnish, Gotland and more!
You will learn how to clean and card the wool. Then you will be taught how to make a ball of wool using a traditional drop spindle. You will then be able to use an easy, small vintage wooden weaving loom to create a small mat or wall hanging. Use your new 'art yarn' fibre that you have just spun, or a selection of lovely commercial wools on a shuttle to create your piece!
In addition to basic weave, you will also learn how to make traditional Swedish Rya knots to add fringing. (They're easy peasy!)
