Donated Fleeces

I was given about 20 fleeces this morning from a local farmer – a very welcome gift.

The first job to do is to ‘skirt’ the fleeces which involves removing both the very dirty fleece, and the shorter and weathered parts of the fleece as using these would create a poorer quality yarn once spun.

The Makers’ Moot

We have now renamed our club ‘The Makers’ Moot’, and are setting it up as an unincorporated constituted group and hope to be able to apply for grants, once our bank account has been finalised, so that we can access craft courses and learn new skills.
