Give Fleece A Chance Day…

November 15, 2010 by claireyarn

Friday 26th November 2010

Venue: The Duchy Square Centre for Creativity, Princetown, Devon.

Add to the flock by spending the day with us, spinning and knitting. Spinners, bring along your spinning wheel and help me turn my collection of fleece into yarn. There’s a list to the right of what I have but it would be great if you could bring along a few handfuls of any other types of fleece. Knitters, help me turn the yarn into sheep; bring some 3.25mm and 4.00mm needles, scissors and sewing up needle (I’ll also provide some). More details here on the Duchy Square news page. Please spread the word; everyone and all abilities welcome.

Times to be announced (10ish to 3ish TBC); stay all day or pop-in when you can. The press will be here to publicise our campaign for local wool so bring your brightest smile! (Please feel free to opt out of photos). I’ll keep the blog up-to-date with developments.  Leave a comment if you’re able to participate, thanks.
