Weaving

For six weeks we had a weaving project with a lady called Sarah . When you weave you have 7 or 8 rows of wool going up and down on a bit on cardboard . Then you get another bit of wool and go over, under, over, under until you get to the end of the row . Then you have to keep doing that over and under pattern until the end of the up and down rows . You can do stripes and tartan (tartan is with lots of colours).

On the first day Sarah told us what to do. We started with around 2 colours. Every one found it quite hard at first.
Three people came to tell us about the weaving mill they used to work in. Their names are Maragret, Jack and Evelyn.

The second week we started doing stripes. We think the second week was
easier than the first.

The third week Sarah showed us how to make tartan. And in the forth and fifth week people tried to make tartan.

The last week a man called John told us about a plant called a teasel (its a tall spiky plant). It's used for combing the sheep wool. Me (Brownie) made a woolen face on a teastle then everyone started doing it.

All our art work is going to the local Gallary.
