Exhibitors

Due to the Covid-19 situation we have postponed the opening of exhibitor applications for our 2020 Wool Gathering from 1st April to 1st July. We very much hope that by the end of summer the restrictions on public events will be relaxed allowing us to organise our show as normal. Applications will open simultaneously for previous as well as potential new exhibitors. Please check our social media pages for the latest news.

Silvia also designs kits. Paul writes the instructions and take the photographs. In addition, she dyes fibres by hand painting silk, wool tops, textured fibres and yarn.
