Join us for a fun and relaxed introduction to early medieval textiles. This 4-week course focuses on the preparation and spinning of fleece into yarn using early medieval technology.

This course is perfect for beginners wanting to explore historic fibre techniques, or fabric nerds who would like a friendly environment to work on textile crafts.

The first part of our course, starting on the 8th April and recurring weekly until 29th April, covers the production of yarn, from combing the fleece to the art of spinning using the drop-spindle.

The session will be led by our fibre expert Hrefna (also known as Julie) and other members of the society. The session will operate from our 'Living History Room' while our regular re-enactment training is taking place in the main hall.

Tea and Coffee available (and free!).
