A large group with a huge heart, fortunate to have their own rooms and to have a weaving loom set up full time for beginners and members to use. Other activities range from spinning, knitting, felting, crochet and more. Age range from uni students to young at heart with a fountain of knowledge to share. They even encourage dyeing. All newcomers are most welcome.
This group is one of four which own and run the Creative Arts Centre in Balclutha. We run exhibitions, work days, and lots of social days, to learn all about fibre.
