I think our photos say it all this month. We had over 40 visitors to Open Day. It was a beautiful sunny day and we had demos of spinning flax, spinning wool, spindle spinning, weaving on rigid heddle looms, peg looms and inkle looms and flower pounding which was very popular. Of course we had scrumptious cakes too! A big thank you to Sarah for doing most of the organising work.
