mardi crafts
papier maché, a rug and dried flowers
learn to spin wool
Fran joined us to explain how to transform a dirty, smelly sheep fleece into a beautiful soft yarn for knitting etc. Some of us struggled to create a beautiful soft yarn, it takes some practice! But we learnt how to card, snip and pick and spin with a drop spindle as well as having a go with a full-sized spinning wheel.
