Meet the expert crafters Cate and Janet to discover how to spin wool and weave thread, you can even get hands on and have a go at it yourself. The ancient crafts of spinning thread and weaving cloth are things that people have done for centuries, without these there would be no clothes to wear.
Visit and try for yourself. Feel and smell the sheep's wool, try your hand with a drop spindle and have a go on a spinning wheel. Do you know what a Niddy Noddy or a Lazy Kate is? See if you can make some thread for the weaver to use. Then have a go at weaving on one of the handlooms. Explore the weft and warp, try not to get your threads in a tangle.
Plus, you can see the fabulous textile displays on the first floor from Gawthorpe Textiles Collection. And a selection of second-hand textile and craft books will also be on sale, if you want something to take home for inspiration.
