We had a great time selling wools and yew decorations. We also gave drop spinning demonstations and made friendship bracelets. Our cards and wooden pendants were especially popular.
It was brilliant to meet everyone and lunch was delicious!
Our colours had a very good reception, by both the public and the other living history participants.
For one of us, Michelham also brought back many childhood memories of being on the archaeological excavations here, so it was lovely coming back and seeing how the site has changed.
Yew Wood?
We are excited about our new wooden pendants, for christmas tree decorations and necklaces. They are made of Yew, which has beautiful structure, the rings and different colours of heartwood and sapwood are clearly visible.
We are planning to burn designs into them, some of which will be bespoke – Names and requested designs.
A perfect gift.
Spinning Kits
We now have Drop Spinning kits, which include a hand-made drop spindle, some wool to spin and a how-to instruction sheet. Now you can learn at home.
More Colours too…
We love all our new colours, they’ll be in a market near you soon!
Our first festival! This was terrifying and exciting in equal measure.
The scale of Tewkesbury is very exciting, a very large number of stalls, two living history camps and a big battle.
Everyone we spoke to was very kind and encouraging, and we are so glad it went well. We will certainly be back for more in the future!
