A workshop for people to make a small mat or rug using the simplest of looms. We will use freshly shorn Welsh Black Mountain and Lleyn (white and bouncy) fleece from Church Farm. Or bring your own fleece from your stash. This workshop will show you a quick way of using unspun fleece to make large throws and cosy underblankets. Colours can be incorporated easily and plenty of dyed fleece will also be available to use as design highlights. Brian will also explain how to make a pegloom.
About the tutor: Brian is a member of North Herts Guild and has demonstrated peg loom weaving on his hand made loom at Apple Days in Tring for several years.
