Residents learn natural wool skills
Corwen residents recently took part in a natural process to create colourful material.
Nature for Health organised a have a go at dyeing wool naturally event for Clawdd Poncen residents.
Attendees were guided by Cat Hibbert of Calon Wlân Wyllt /Wild Heart Wool who brought wool from her own flock of Jacob sheep and dyeing materials included madder root, nettles and bramble.
The residents learnt about the whole process from responsibly foraging natural dyeing materials to different uses of their newly dyed wool.
Councillor Alan James, Cabinet Lead Member for Local Development and Planning, said: “These events organised by the Nature for Health Team are really beneficial for helping people with their health and well-being and I would encourage all to take part if you can.”
