If you have fibre producing animals, not just alpacas, (but they're the best...we are slightly biased!!) this workshop will introduce you to all the stages from taking a raw fleece from the animal, through sorting and washing, to selecting and preparing for spinning and felting. We will introduce the techniques of spindle spinning to get used to handling the fibre before moving onto using a spinning wheel. And wet felting, enabling you to learn how to make this oldest of textiles and complete a project in a day.
After a home cooked lunch (all diets catered for with notice) the afternoon is spent working with the fibre in any way you wish to practise your new found skills.
This is a must if you have just one or a few fleeces that it would be impractical to send off to be processed or you love the idea of doing it all yourself.
