Projects for 2025 Meetings

A number of people have mentioned an interest in long draw techniques.  This will also link to the different fleeces as it is the ideal method when dealing with short staple fleeces.
These sessions will fit in with the the main activity of the month and will be flexible depending on the time available. We will demonstrate, over three sessions: 
Supported Long Draw
Making Rolags
English Long Draw

South Molton Fatstock Show 2024

Sunday 1st December 
​South Molton Pannier Market

We have been invited to take part in this very enjoyable - if rather chilly! - event once again and spinners are invited to come along with their wheels to this vibrant day.  We will need a minimum of 6 spinners for the day , or two groups of 3, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.  It is an early start and we will need to be in place by about 8.30.  

In addition to the Fatstock Show and Competition of Livestock, the Pannier Market will be filled with many local businesses with lots of Christmas shopping ideas and food and drink stalls, all showcasing the very best that the are has to offer.
