We offer a fun filled day for all - no experience needed! All you need to do is to attend one class. Each class will begin and end with a final product and will host up to five participants. Each class will be held from 10.30 -2, breaking for lunch.

Description

Part of my spinning and weaving course held at Alford. Join me for a day of weaving and relaxation. You will learn how to prepare fleece, set up a peg loom and weave a simple rug to take home with you. Peg looms are great for using a mixture of fleece, yarn or fabric, and using up your stash. A great class for beginners.

What's included in the price?

Warping thread and fleece, or if you prefer fleece material strips which will be provided. You will have the use of a peg loom for the day and wool carding combs will be available to use. Peg looms can be purchased, pre ordering is easier but not essential.
