"If you have to make a thing, you must know the background of it, the skeleton, the foundations, the actual stuff that the materials have grown out of, their connections with their natural background, their biotechnics - and then building can begin. And then the reason for making, the purpose, the human connection. All sides must be considered and known. You cannot just make."

from Hand Weaving and Education by Ethel Mairet (Faber & Faber 1952)

The "Feet Felt" and "Woolsack" kits celebrate our wool heritage, providing a wealth of information for further research into the history, culture, environmental and current status of wool.  Please click on the buttons to the right or click here to go to the Bellacouche site.

NEW!  The Woolsack Minikit tells you how to make a fabulous felt necklace.  It's a taster for the full Woolsack, and if you like it, you get its value off the full Woolsack.  Make an inspired gift for potential felt makers or treat yourself to keep you busy during winter evenings.
