MEMBERS at the meeting on March 1 were given a talk by June Carmichael on her hobby of spinning and felting.

She told how she was able to obtain fleeces and how she prepared them to spin.

Members were able to watch her spinning and to handle some of the woollen hanks she brought to demonstrate the differing textures.

There were garments to feel that she had knitted and some lovely examples of hats and bags made by felting and the use of vegetable dyes.

The next meeting is on Wednesday, April 5, in Studley Village Hall at 2pm.

New members are welcome and for more details, call Margaret Pilkington on 854564.
