Their dedicated ‘knit & natter’ area is the perfect space for those who have met online during the lockdown, to meet in person for the first time.

The Great Wool Weekend at RHS Garden Rosemoor, EX38 8PH – 9th/10th April

Be part of The Great Wool Weekend at RHS Garden Rosemoor, where once again, they aim to celebrate the multitude of ways that wool and yarn can be used practically and creatively in our daily lives.

They are looking to inspire visitors to become involved in finding a new skill and taking home gifts from an array of exhibitors, who will be joining them in the Garden Room and throughout the garden.

Learn something new on your visit with exciting crafts from Magpie and Hook. Join them on the Learning Centre lawn for drop-in workshops, including crochet necklaces/hairbands, needle felted nest weaving and woolly embroidery.

You’ll get the chance to meet some rare breed alpacas, and the lady from Lydford Gorge Alpacas will share more about these wonderful animals. Also, watch out for the sheepdog and his mischievous sheep characters, they might try and get you herded up and into their pen.

So, don’t miss out on a weekend of crafts, demonstrations, yarn bombing and all things woolly at RHS Garden Rosemoor.
