starting at 9.30am with morning tea

Braiding using a Lucet

• Selection of threads in various thicknesses and a range of types, cotton, wool, silk synthetic and metal (bling).  Select your colour scheme so you are not bringing everything from your stash.  This uses great lengths of thread.
• Lucet if you have one, French knitting reel

Embellisher/Needle felting

Select a colour scheme to work with and a selection of the following:

• Merino Tops, Mohair Curls, Alpaca, Silk hankies, Throwsters waste,
• Synthetic felt A4 size to start, Felt shapes if you have, felting pads
• Wool yarn, embroidery and knitting
• Loose weave muslin or similar, Silk organza, Sari silk ribbon
• Cotton or linen laces
• Embellisher
• Spare needles in case you break those supplied

Do you have a hand needle felting tool?  Please bring along with felting needles and some of the above

The group decided some time ago to stay for lunch.  BRING LUNCH!  We may need the afternoon to continue playing!

This energetic, enthusiastic group loves to experiment with new techniques in stitch, sewing, card making, dyeing and anything fibre. Design your own work, slash, rip, do subversive or freestyle stitching, burn, embellish, splash colour and have masses of fun manipulating thread, fabric and fibre.
