Vocational Spinning & Weaving Course

Quelvehin Alpagas in conjunction with Patsie Fear are pleased to offer a vocational spinning and weaving course in central Brittany.

Patsie has 30 years experience and is well-known within the textile industry, exhibiting in the UK and Brittany.

Currently working in Brittany, Patsie is able to offer expert tuition in both spinning and weaving, using either your own fleece or a choice of our huacaya / suri alpaca or sheep fleece.

Weekly courses are available throughout the winter months from October through to May for 4-6 people.

2-day courses with accommodation are available.

Pontivy itself is a fine Napoleonic town and boasts many tourist attractions. So why not spend the morning spinning with Patsie, then in the afternoon wander amongst the narrow streets of half timbered buildings taking in shops and the local chateau: the choice is yours!

Alpaca is a speciality fibre, highly sought after as one of the world’s most luxurious fleeces. Once reserved for Inca royalty, alpaca wool is now enjoyed by spinners and weavers across the globe.
