Bridget has worked with Alpaca Fleece for the last 30 years. Don’t believe all the myths about how hard it is to work with. It’s not. It’s much more like cashmere than wool and is so beautiful to handle even in its raw state.

Bridget takes the different grades of alpaca and uses them for felting and weaving, as well as spinning and thence on to crochet or knitting. But her passion for spinning has meant she has given many workshops and taught many people this ancient art.

The very best results are acheived using natural dyes with Alpaca Fleece. She prepares and blends different plant dyes for stunning results. The mixed and blended combinations give beautiful colours. Many of the techniques are equally useful with other fibres. Bridget offers workshops to share her knowledge and at the end of it you will have a selection of wonderful coloured yarn to take away with you.

As well as spinning and dyeing, Bridget has organised peg looming and felting workshops and is part of a group of like minded ladies “The Wild Woolly Women” who meet weekly in different local venues, to share their creative interests and skills with lots of cake and chat!
