  • Craft Drop-In Session

    How lovely to discover that there are so many people who are as passionate as I am to work with wool, share knowledge and skills and encourage beginners. The Wool Loft provides a comfortable space where all abilities are appreciated and the joy of creating is free to flourish. (Regular Visitor)

  • Craft Drop-In Session

    Friday mornings - calm, welcoming environment. Everyone is supportive and encouraging. A chance to unwind and relax. (Regular Visitor.)

  • Craft Dop-in Session

    Pretty new to knitting and crocheting so I find this ‘gathering’ very warm and supportive - a brilliant community initiative. A mindful space for all! (Regular Visitor)

  • Peg Looming workshop

    I wanted to say a huge Thank You for the peg weaving workshop. I absolutely loved it - the Wool Loft is such a welcoming space, really lovely! Thank you for all your help, clear instruction and patience teaching us all - I loved all the options: different warp string, beautiful fleeces or rovings to choose. We all made something unique to us, which is really special. (KH)

  • Introduction to Darning

    I throughly enjoyed this workshop. I felt it was well paced and Molly gave clear and easy to follow instructions. All equipment necessary was provided and easy to use, and the space was welcoming. I enjoyed being there and sharing the camaraderie. Although there was a hand-out, I found I didn't need it as the instructions given by Molly were enough. Looking forward to hopefully doing an advanced darning working with Molly in the near future.

    Many thanks Wool Loft and Molly. (MR)

  • Introduction to Darning

    I thought the darning workshop was lovely. It was clearly explained and there was plenty of equipment and samples provided. It was a relaxed atmosphere but also informative and inspiring. There was a feeling of warmth respect and kindness in the space.

    Loved the biscuits!! And the regular supply of tea!

    The Wool Loft is a magical space that seems to have a unique caring environment. It's a gift to Moretonhampstead and feels like a tangible link with our ancestors in Devon. (MH)
