A CELEBRATION of the region’s wool will be held in County Durham next week.
The North Pennines Wool Group will be holding its fourth Wool Event on Friday, October 11, at several venues in St John's Chapel in Weardale.
The event will take place at the Town Hall, Barrington Hall and surrounding village green and will run from 10.30am to 4pm.
It will include a range of stallholders selling local wools, woollen products and wool-related equipment and art, plus a range of woolly demonstrations will be taking place throughout the day.
There will also be a fleece sale and anyone with interesting fleeces to sell is welcome to bring them along on the day.
There will also be a photography competition featuring images inspire by wool.
