A lady spinning yarn.

Former Scattery Island guide ,storyteller and crafter Ruth Marshall will show us the route from raw fleece to fine yarn and will be happy to tell us about the plants-roots and flowers that she uses to produce beautiful natural dye colours.
She might even tell a yarn [story] or two...remember that one about the princess who fell asleep for 100 years when she pricked her finger on a spindle.
