COUNTRYFILE CHILDREN IN NEED COMPETITION - BEHIND THE SCENES

We are very pleased that our Jane Lucas has been asked by Countryfile presenter Adam Henson to prepare a fleece from his flock that will be used in the competition they are running to design a bobble hat for Children In Need.

Jane was seen on Countryfile on the 11th December collecting the fleece from Adam at his farm.  She will be preparing the fleece, with the support of our Guild,  by washing, dyeing, carding and spinning it, so that it can be knitted up into a few hats that will be knitted and auctioned off to raise funds.

 

Final entries for the design need to be in by 16th January 2022, with the winner being announced later in spring.

 Details for entries can be found here:

Pleased to report that washing is underway and we await what the final colours required will be and then the next stage will be the dye pots!
