Great day felting last Saturday

We had a very good turn out last Saturday.  About 8 people made Worry Eaters and I will attach a photo of the results (they aren't quite finished).  Hopefully we will see the completed Worry Eaters at our next meeting on Saturday 18 October.

Dont forget the felting day this weekend

Hi All,
Don't forget we have a felting day this Saturday.  New people are welcome to come along.  We have an activity this time.  We will be making Worry Eaters.  You will need to google Worry Eater to find out what this is - or see my recent post.  Making a Worry Eater is not compulsory but if you want to - you will need to bring: some carded wool in colours of your choice (you can buy this on the day), dishwashing liquid, a container for a small amount of hot water, a 1m length of bubblewrap and some thick plastic for making a resist from.  Items you can bring or borrow on the day:  a net curtain, a builders drop sheet (very thin plastic sheeting), a pool noodle.  To finish your worry eater you will need a roughly 12 cm zip and two big buttons.

Another Woolfun Day at Bergli.

19th July Saturday Anytime between 10 am and 4 pm (Also august 9th and 13th September)

Enjoy a relaxing day working with wool with like-minded people in a small group, in a beautiful log house with wonderful views.  Koha appreciated for the morning and afternoon tea provided. Bring your lunch, your woolcraft gear, and if felting, a table if possible.  Bergli Farm is at Teddington, Lyttelton Harbour, between Governors Bay and Diamond Harbour. 30 minutes from the square.

Come along on Saturday 26 July and make a Worry Eater

We are planning something a bit different for the next felting day on Saturday 26 July.  This will suit new people and our regulars.  We are going to be making Worry Eaters.  This is not compulsory, its optional, everyone is free to do their own projects as usual but we will have a group making Worry Eaters.  Worry Eaters make great presents, they are small felted bags with eyes and personality.  They have a zip for the mouth.  If you have worries you write them down on a piece of paper, unzip the zip and "feed" your worry to the Worry Eater - problem solved.  Come and join us for the day and have some fun.  All you will need is some wool (you can buy this on the day) and we can provide most other things if you are new to felting.  See you there.

Changes to felting day dates

We are not going to be having any more Thursday felting days this year as we don't seem to be getting a good turnout and we aren't breaking even on hiring the hall.  We are still running our Saturday Felting days so come along to the next one on Saturday 26 July - put this and Saturday 18 October in your diaries now.
