Yarndale is for everyone interested in wool and making, those who already knit and crochet and those who want to start.
It’s about making stuff from warm woollen socks and scarves to big blankets and cosy cushions and everything in between. And encouraging each other in various ways along the way.
Emma and Kate from the Yarndale team will be running making sessions throughout the summer and you’re all invited to join in and get involved. These are informal, fun and chatty sessions that are free to attend.
And every Thursday in term time from 7pm – 8pm at Skipton Town Hall, they run their weekly Yarndale Social; a meet up, make and mend session.
