Try before you buy

A full sampling day using any of our fibres for a fee of £12.00 per person for feltmaking or £8.00 per person for spinning. Or if you want to do both a fee of £12.00

Just come and try out any of our stock fibres and equipment with no need to buy.

We do not give any tuition with the try before you buy. If testing out spinning wheels we will offer some advice on the different models.

You are invited to come and have a full day at Wentworth working with any of our fibres. We have a vast range of fibres, which no doubt you have found in this web site, for you to come and sit and spin or make felt samples with.

This service is so that you can handle as many different fibres and use as many different wheels as we have. Or in the case of feltmakers make as many sample pieces as you can.

We do have one restriction and that is not to allow you to work with one, or very few fibres, only. Unfortunately in the past we have had folks who see this as a means of producing a fantastically cheap cashmere jumper or giant felt wall hanging!

The obvious purpose is to get you to try out as many things as possible and to get advice from us. We do not include tuition in this service. For that you need to book on one of our courses

Any samples made can be taken away free.

If you wish to take up the offer please contact us to arrange a time. If you want to try a particular wheel let us know so that we ensure we have models available.

We have a 12ft x 15ft glasshouse/classroom with the same area of shaded decking on which to work. This is a comfortable space for a group of 4-6 to work in (or one person who needs a lot of space!). We provide drink making facilities. Meals are readily available in the village.

If you want to make a group visit we are able to offer accommodation in Chivas cottage just 5 minutes away in Elsecar. This sleeps 4/5 people and is available throughout the year. Great for a spinning or felting retreat, working with fibres all day then relaxing in front of the log fire at night.
