Geraldine, from the Heritage council of Ireland, spent a morning showing us lots of interesting things about wool and other fibres. We saw real wool from the sheep. We carded it and saw how it is dyed. We used an old spindle and a spinning wheel to spin it into long threads for weaving or knitting. We used lots of fibres to weave brightly-coloured wristbands. We really enjoyed the workshop!
