Phew - after a crazy couple of days online with Woolfest, it's almost peaceful to be back in The Wool Clip - and we've a new Spotlight guest, Clare Farley of Pinfold Pottery. We're open every day except Mondays, 11am to 4pm.
An obituary for Sue Blacker of Blacker Yarns and NaturalFibre Company appeared in Saturday's Guardian Obituaries . Many Woolfesters will have met Sue and sat in on her fleece talks - she'll be much missed. theguardian.com/theguardian/20…
Good to welcome Ullswater Felt Art Art, Jane Firth as our Spotlight featured guest artist until the end of October.
Great to see Jane's work in The Wool Clip until the end of October.
At a recent meeting of The Wool Clip Clip co-operative, we discussed our ideas and our research into new venues and available dates for Woolfest. We have decided that there will not be a Woolfest in 2022, neither “live” nor online. 1of2
