Group Activities
Our group shares skills and information on all aspects of spinning, weaving, dyeing, felting, knitting
and crochet. We aim to increase our knowledge and interest in textiles. Members use natural
fibres such as wool, alpaca, mohair, cotton, silk etc and often experiment with manufactured and
synthetic fibres (bamboo, soy, tencel etc), either in natural colours or hand dyed, blending for
interesting textures. The group demonstrates its skills at many local events, as well as organising
the Hawkesbury District Spinning and Knitting Competition each year at the
Hawkesbury District Agricultural Association Show.
Many members show off their talents with entries in the local shows at Castle Hill and Hawkesbury
