Working with Wool – Lucet

Kiri Cottage Working with Wool October 1

Over the last couple of weeks I have run the first two in a series of 10 ‘Working with Wool’ craft workshops for Ards and North Down Borough Council on 24 September and 1 October.

We used a lucet to create a woollen braid at the first workshop and then stitched the braid into a placemat at the second one.
