Wool Spinning Workshop with Heather

Join Heather from the Avon Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers for this Wool Spinning Workshop where you will learn how to process fleece from our Hartcliffe City Farm sheep into your own hand spun yarn! This event is part of our Pumpkin Sale event on Saturday 24th October.

Over the 2 hour session, you will learn to:

• pick the wool clean
• brush the tips out with a flicker brush
• blend wool from different coloured sheep's fleeces
• spin using a spindle

There is limited space for each 2 hour session with 8 spaces per slot. A small number of drop-in spaces will be available for the afternoon session.

Please note, wool contains lanolin so this activity is not suitable for those with a lanolin allergy.

This activity is aimed at adults, but supervised children can take part (1 ticket per head).
