Fearless Threads - Fearless Textures
Fearless Threads: Spin a Thread of Connection.
Date: Saturday 6th September
Opening Times: 11.00 - 18.00
Location: Hut 6, Folkestone Harbour Marketplace, Folkestone Harbour Arm, Harbour Approach Rd CT20 1QH
Join Fearless Textures for a hands-on day of spinning local wool, contributing to a Folkestone Community Thread.
We're inviting spinners to share their craft, and welcome everyone to try their hand at spinning. Learn to transform local fleece into a continuous thread.
Kent (Romney) wool has been an essential commodity for export since the middle ages, it was even smuggled due to its high value. Sadly the value of wool has plummeted, and farmers are forced to dump unwanted fleece. We invite you to imagine a new hyper-local textile future.
