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 plant-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?
This event will take place in the recently renovated Brennan family cottage in the village street and is a 3 hour stay on Scattery Island.
Also on the day, our OPW guides will lead tours of the 6th century monastic settlement founded by Saint Senan.
