Freestyle Embroidery Workshop at Jennie’s Wool Studio
This workshop is suitable for novices and those who already know one end of a needle from the other!

Freestyle stitching is a way of creating surface texture and interest on already interesting textiles, stitching flowing motifs without prescribed direction or pattern, using your needle and threads as pencil or paintbrush, to draw or paint onto the cloth. It is also a lot of fun and very absorbing!

During this three hour workshop, we will learn how to sew several different embroidery stitches and how to combine them to embellish a piece of woollen textile.

The workshop cost of £55 includes: tuition, a piece of woollen textile, embroidery threads, use of needles, scissors etc. Please bring a note book and writing pen/pencil.
Tea and coffee also included.

The workshop dates and times are:
10 am to 1 pm Saturday 26th April
10 am to 1 pm Saturday 3rd May
10 am to 1 pm Friday 9th May
Please email to book a space, stating preferred date and also second/third choice in the event that the first/second choice is full. There are 6 spaces on each date.

So with this extreme weather event on the way, I won’t be opening tomorrow, Friday 24th January. I am back to my usual opening hours though, Tuesday to Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm. Meanwhile to keep you entertained, here is a short video of my local sparrow community taking a dust bath.

Really fascinating archive footage. What a cohort of workers too!

I forgot to show the result of those beautiful Shetland fleeces from earlier this year. The first photo is all the fibres, flicked, then put through the drum carder. The second photo shows the yarns I spun. I managed to get quite a good range of colours, from white through to almost black.

Just to let you all know that after a busy summer we are taking a week off from 3rd September, back on the 10th.
