Wool Dyeing and Spinning

Step back in time and explore the ancient craft of wool dyeing and drop spindle spinning. Join Geraldine as she brings the vibrant world of traditional textile-making to life, demonstrating time-honoured methods used by our ancestors to prepare, dye, and spin wool by hand. Watch as natural dyes derived from plants transform raw fleece into richly coloured fibres. This fascinating demonstration offers a hands-on insight into the skill, patience, and creativity involved in crafting garments long before industrial processes —a true celebration of heritage and handcraft.
