I’m currently weaving a throw having spun loads

I’m currently weaving a throw having spun loads of fleece from Gretchen the Sheep, although looking at the colour, it could just as easily be from Badger the Dog!
I’m also knitting a pullover for Perrin (soon to be 12) from the same fleece. Spring is on its way and I hope you’re feeling the same creative urges!
If you’d like to learn to dye fleece with plants and weave on a Brinkley loom (as I’m doing here), I have two 3 day courses coming up this summer.

WE STILL HAVE SOME PLACES AVAILABLE!!!!!
During the course you will learn how to dye fleece using plants, flowers and roots from my dye garden. We will also weave on both a Pegloom and the amazing Brinkley Loom, and there will be an opportunity to learn 3D felting if you really want to pack more in!
Places are £300 per person, including lunch and materials.

The first day of my 3 day workshops is spent plant dyeing fleece, and most of the plants and flowers are picked by participants in my dye garden. It’s always fantastic to see the journey from plant to fleece to finished woven product. If you’d like to find out more about my workshops visit https://plantdyedwool.co.uk/workshops/
