Rangatahi Fashion History: What's Wool?

Got a creative young person in your life, aged 10-20 curious about fashion history, knitting and sheep?

Come and hear wool history from our expert NZ wool spinner Jill followed by a mini felting workshop!

Jill will share stories and knowledge about the structure of wool, its history in Aotearoa New Zealand. Wool carding and spinning demonstrations follows after, allowing for them to touch real sheep's wool and learn about basic yarn making.

Participants will be able to take home some wool in a carded or felted form.

Free, all materials provided.
