Yarndale is partnering with Skipton Town Hall and Watch This Space to bring woolly workshops to Skipton.
Celebrating the textiles heritage of Craven we are offering a series of short creative sessions to teach simple knitting and crochet techniques.
Everyone welcome, no experience necessary. Children must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult.
No need to book but please arrive on time since places are limited. First come first served!
Thanks to King Cole for the yarn!
Sessions will run as follows –
- Wednesday 26th October, 11am – 12.30pm & 2pm – 3.30pm
- Saturday 29th October, 11am – 12.30pm
Yarndale is a weekend celebration of the brilliance of wool in all its forms held over the last weekend of September at Skipton Auction Mart. Each year, we welcome visitors from across the country and around the world. This year, as we celebrate our tenth birthday we want to share skills with local people to create a very special woolly display for Skipton.
Watch this Space is a Heritage Action Zone project funded by Historic England. It is about looking at spaces (any spaces) differently and asking how they might be used to support, encourage, and build the creative and cultural sector in Skipton. The project enables collaboration between artists, new skills to be learnt and ideas to be tested – it gives the ‘space’ for people to explore.
