Yolande Shannon / Yolande Shannon Designs

Join Yolande as she brings to life the age-old Irish tradition of spinning locally sourced wool and weaving it on her loom. With skilled hands and a deep connection to heritage, she transforms raw fleece into beautifully textured yarn, then intricately weaves it into unique textiles. This timeless craft, passed down through generations, is a celebration of local materials, sustainable practices. Watch as tradition and creativity intertwine in a process that honours both the past and the present.
