Flower needle felting

Here at the Melken Jacob & Churnd Dron flock home in West Devon near Okehampton, Nic and I are excited to add some extra dates for our hugely popular WOOL PROCESSING WORKSHOPS and also tell you all about our NEEDLE FELTED FLOWER WORKSHOPS.

Our wool processing and needle felting workshops will now be held in “The Woolly Wagon “ which has far reaching views out over our beautiful farm and across to scenic Dartmoor. It is a fantastic venue for our workshops and we are looking forward to sharing it with you all.

Fancy learning how to make ONE of these amazing flowers??? I am now offering workshops showing you how to needle felt flowers. At the end of each workshop you will take home at least one flower made by you. You will learn what makes a good fleece and get to meet our sheep and get hands on looking at their fleeces. Then we’ll head into the woolly wagon and I’ll explain the principles of needle felting and then we’ll get stabbing!!

All wool and equipment is provided with the option to purchase needle felting kits as well!

Times and dates: 11am till 3pm (ish!) (limited to 4 people)
