SHIPSTON WOOL FAIR WEEKEND - our virtual contribution

OUR 

  WOOLLY 

  MARQUEE

 FOR THE SHIPSTON WOOL FAIR

  WEEKEND 

  VIRTUAL EVENT  

In the  normal course of events this bank holiday Monday 25th May 2020, we would have been joining all the demonstrators and traders at the Shipston Wool Fair.  For obvious reasons this is not taking place this year.

However, we didn't think that was a reason not to encourage you all to be 'having a go' with everything that is WOOLLY!  So, we have put some links here to instructions for some of the activities we would usually be deonstrating and getting you to try your hand at.

One of our annual activities, and greatly enjoyed by the children in particular, is our braiding card.  Simple to cut our from a nice piece of sturdy card and then with any fibre/threads that you have available - it can be any remaining wool you have around, string or embroidery threads.  Find the pattern and instructions here. 

Another of our activities demonstrated in its many forms is weaving, shown here to the left using a simple rectangular frame.  Why not make your own small frame?

Find the instructions for a small weaving card here.

Do send us your pictures of 'have a go' items to wsdstratford@gmail.com
