Fibre Tech Village

Fibre Tech Village presented by The Shepherd’s Choice,
Come and see how people made their textiles and clothing for thousands of years. True slow fashion.
Spinning, Weaving, Felting displays. Mini-workshops of some of these. We will be having a stall selling all our Coloured Merino fleece, Spinning & weaving fibre, yarn and equipment, and lots more goodies.
The Quick Spin Event: For experienced adrenaline junkie Spinners. (A new event I’ve made up)
Half hour, and hour heats. No one gets knocked out. It’s a personal challenge amongst fellow spinners.
Bobbins get weighed prior and post heats. Singles to be able to ply into 8ply. Spinning with supplied Corriedale fleece. As in a back to back, no combs or carders allowed. Like a training event for a possible future Back-to-Back event, or do it just for the challenge. In the meantime, we can have some fun I reckon.
Location: Room off the Great Hall during Festival hours
