A FOLK Museum is going ‘back to back’ with a Countryside Crafts weekend as a textile group transforms a sheep’s fleece into a jumper over the course of a single day.
On Saturday August, 12 the Cleveland Fibre Arts group will attempt to take on the back to back challenge at the Hutton-le-Hole attraction. Beginning with a fleece sheered and washed from the Ryedale Folk Museum’s very own Manx Loughtan sheep, the group will then tease, card, spin and knit a jumper.
Kirsty Holtby, the Museum’s Commercial Manager said “We are all delighted that the Cleveland Fibre Arts group have taken on the back to back challenge this year using our own rare breed sheep.
