Spinning Yarns
About the event
Welcome to Arthur Cottage, come in and have a seat by the turf fire where you will be given the warmest hospitality by Mary, our resident crafter in period costume.
Mary will demonstrate the wonderful art of spinning, this unique and charming craft has been around for years and elements still play a humble part in life today. As Mary spins the wool she will also spin some yarns and tell stories from bygone years.
As you listen to the yarns and spin of the wheel you will also here the crackle of the open fire and smell the fresh sodas been harnned.
You will have the opportunity to try spinning and sample the warm delights from the griddle. This is an event demonstration for all the family.
