  • Freightliners City Farm Freightliners City Farm London United Kingdom (map)

A practical introduction to wool crafts. Have a go at processing our sheep’s fleeces sorting, carding, spinning and washing the wool. Have a go at using a peg loom, weaving frame and spinning wheel. Make a piece of felted or woven textile to take home. This session will include families visiting the farm and we will ask young people taking part to help out and support others to get involved and have a go at the activities. There will also be a chance to meet and help feed some of the farm animals with members of farm staff and volunteers.

Although this is a crafts session it is using raw sheep’s wool and may be dirty and wet. Please wear appropriate warm clothing.

There are limited spaces please book your space online here. If you are unable to attend for any reason please cancel your slot to allow another young person to take up this opportunity.

All young people taking part in the Farm activities programmes must complete a registration form which can be downloaded here.
