Well, it happened. Our first Sunday meeting on February 2nd 2020 proved to be a great success. Twenty two people attended, some for just a couple of hours, and shared their knowledge, skills and lunch!

We are looking forward to our next meeting on March 1st 10am until 4pm, when we will be delving into Colour Theory.
Oh, and of course you can pop into ‘There’s No Planet B’ at St Chad’s Church, Stafford and say hello to our crafters there.
Stafford Knot Spinners have been invited to be part of Croxton Well Dressing.
Carol and Judy worked hard to produce a fine needle felted Alsatian!
Excellent work ladies!
We have had a really busy year this year – so much has gone on and we haven’t had time to talk about it until now. So here’s a whistle stop tour of the year – with a few photos.
We started off by going back to basics so as to better understand our fibres and how to prepare them – culminating with a visit from and to Griffiths’ Mill – what a pleasure that was.
We decided to focus on braiding in July –
Quickly followed by our Dyeing day. It must have been one of the hottest days of summer – and yes you guessed it – we were literally cooking – both fibre and ourselves
Our ‘introduction to weaving’ night got a few more members hooked and we’ve had some beautiful results from the felting day.
All of this meant that we had some wonderful items to display on Spin in Public day and at the other events we attended – here’s a flavour
Thank you for reading this far – hope you’ve enjoyed this little tour of 2014
We had a wonderful time creating various little creatures, pictures and objets d’art under the watchful eye of Rachel, our instructor for the evening. Some beautiful new objects were created out of ‘thin air’, well, fleece and felt using only the power of our imaginations, some fantastic guidance and a lot of stabbing with a sharp needle. Check out the photos below for the results of our efforts
Well done to everyone who took part
