Whether you’re an expert knitter or a total beginner, spinning your own yarn from scratch is so satisfying and gives you complete control over the creative process.
What will you learn?
In this unique workshop Jane, our very own shepherdess, will take you through the fascinating journey of wool from field to fibre. You’ll learn to choose, clean and prepare fleece, spin by hand and ply your wool. You’ll also have an opportunity to spin your own yarn on traditional spinning wheels. You’ll leave with a skein of your own yarn and a drop spindle so you can put your new skills into practice.
We strive to keep our ticket prices as low as possible so that our workshops can be accessible to all. We are able to offer a limited amount of free tickets to those on low incomes so please get in touch if you wish to attend a workshop but feel that the cost is prohibitive.

Nyddu eich Edafedd eich hun
P’un ai ydych chi’n wëwr profiadol neu’n ddechreuwyr pur, mae nyddu eich edafedd eich hun o’r cychwyn cyntaf mor foddhaus ac mae’n rhoi rheolaeth lwyr i chi dros y broses greadigol.
Yn y gweithdy unigryw hwn bydd Jane, ein bugeiles ni ein hunain, yn eich arwain drwy siwrnai wefreiddiol o wlân o’r cae i’r ffibr. Byddwch yn dysgu dewis, glanhau a pharatoi cnu, nyddu gyda llaw a cheincio eich gwlân. Byddwch yn cael y cyfle yn ogystal i nyddu eich edafedd eich hun ar droell nyddu draddodiadol. Byddwch yn gadael y gweithdy gyda chengl o’ch edafedd eich hun a gwerthyd syml, fel y gallwch chi ymarfer eich sgiliau newydd yn syth.
