Learn new skills and techniques

You can learn how to crochet your own stylish Bliss Twist Headband with Lisa Lamb of Craft Shedquarters, or how to knit in the old Yorkshire Dales way with a ‘knitting sheath’ under the guidance of Ann Kingstone.

And for something a little bit different, Rachel Anderson of Contrary to Reason will give a fascinating talk and demonstration on how to use your sewing machine needle as a pencil to create unique and original drawings on fabric.

Yarndale is a weekend of wool-focused fun on 28–29 September at Skipton Auction Mart. For more information and to book workshops, go to yarndale.co.uk
