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
