Bellaghy Bawn, 20 Castle Street, Bellaghy, County Londonderry, BT45 8LA
Fleece to Fibre – Spinning Demonstration EHOD 2024

About

Spinning is the simple act of drawing out natural fibres and twisting them together to form a yarn. The process predates written history but is very much alive today. Tina will begin with raw sheep fleece which will be hand carded to form 'rolags' and spun into yarn. A rolag (Scottish Gaelic: roileag) is a roll of fibre used to spin woollen yarn. This is a traditional process in which Tina will be using an Ashford Spinning Wheel. You can try your hand at spinning with a drop spindle.
