Liz Lovick will be back with us on 11 & 12 September to host a weekend dedicated to Faroese shawls with everyone producing a mini shawl and learning a lot about them, then and now. Liz's workshop last year was our most popular one so booking early would be advisable.
The price for the weekend (lunches and refreshments included) will be £90
Below is a picture of a mini shawl in Albalace which Liz has done in preparation for the workshop.
Please email or phone us to book your place.
Watch this space for any more workshops we arrange for later in the year
NEW! Want to learn how to knit or move on from scarves and stocking stitch? We are now running small group workshops for beginner and improver knitters and crocheters. We also have classes for those amongst you who would like to learn to spin or improve your technique. These are arranged on a by request basis. Please contact us if you are interested. The cost is £5 per hour. |

March 1st 2008 was a special occasion for Barbara being 25 years to the day in 1983 when she opened her first shop in Bedfordshire. Kaffe arrived late because his flight was delayed but it was still a great day with lots and lots of people dropping in to meet him.  Kaffe with Barbara on the right of the photo and Ann on the left.
