Wool fest
Saturday 31st August at Blacker Hall Farm Shop - between 10am - 3pm.
Our super 'sheepish' event day! Joined by the Wool Guild and the volunteers from Colne Valley Museum at our Little Farmers Trail. Come down today and learn how sheep's fleece is turned into yarn and then clothing. We have live sheep shearing and lots of opportunities to meet and feed our friendly flock of sheep! There’ll be lots of woolly demonstrations and opportunities to have a go yourself!
FREE to attend!
The Demos will include:
- How a spindle and spinning wheel operate - see them in action.
- Take a seat at the loom and have a go yourself
- Live Sheep shearing
- Learn about the fleece-to-yarn process
- Learn about different fleeces from different breeds of sheep.
Plus stall holding selling their handmade woollen items.
Little ones can get creative in our craft corner and create their very own sheep pom pom, or do some sewing of their own using the yarn.
A great day of learning for the whole family.
