Raw Wool Weaving
About the event
Local woolworker, Noah Camps, will be weaving a raw wool rug on an antique upright loom in The Weaver’s Cottages.
The cottages were built in the 17th century to house those who wove for Huntington Castle. They are a time capsule for traditional wool crafts and domestic rural Irish life. The wool in this project has been sourced from the castle sheep, reuniting the old bonds between the two buildings.
