What better place for a Yarn Festival than West Cork’s Sheep’s Head peninsula?
The third Sheep’s Head Yarn Festival in May 2017 will again offer you the chance to learn new skills or improve your techniques in many areas of yarncraft.
There will be workshops across the peninsula over the weekend of Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st May, for all skill levels. Workshops will cover knitting, crochet, felting & spinning. You’ll get to explore our lovely coastal villages of Durrus, Ahakista and Kilcrohane as you travel along the peninsula to workshops with our expert tutors.
The peninsula is flanked by Dunmanus and Bantry Bays, and you’ll find great places to eat and places to stay in Bantry and along the Sheep’s Head.
We hope to see you there!
