Summer Outing 2020

This year the outing will take place on Sunday 7 June. We will be visiting Applecross Walled Garden and Croft Wools.

After a wander round Applecross Walled Garden Lunch will be taken at the Garden cafe.

Croft Wools is run by Lesley and Thomas Kilbride, textiles makers and crofters. They have a flock of grey Gotland sheep and use their wool for spinning, weaving, knitting and felting. They plan to have dye pots going for dyeing, a natural dye plants exhibition set up, a demonstration and an opportunity to have ‘a go’ at spinning on an assortment of wheels (six) and possibly having ‘a go’ on a table loom.

This year we will be travelling in mini buses loaned by Plockton High School. These will leave Plockton around 9.00 am.

The cost will be £20 for members and £25 for non-members.
