Description

The course takes place on our alpaca farm. The course is suitable for beginners as I will take you through the process. Before the day I will send out designs and colours so I can warp up the looms ready for the day. Please note that at this time I need 72 hours before the course to warp up looms. The morning will be spent weaving, overlooking the alpaca fields. During lunch there will be an opportunity to meet the alpacas, visit the weaving studio and the mini mill to see where we process our alpaca yarn. The afternoon is spent completing the scarf and adding those finishing touches to make it your own. If dates are not suitable please contact us as we are flexible.

What's included in the price?

All materials are included. Tea and coffee throughout the day. A vegetarian lunch.

Angela Bradford reviewed: Weave an alpaca scarf in a day

"Had a fabulous day with Christine and the alpacas on Saturday, learnt all about how the fleece is made into wool and made a beautiful scarf to treasure. Went to meet all the alpacas and saw the ones that we were using their wool . I would highly recommend this course , and you get a lovely lunch. Ps remember to take some wellies or boots to go to see the alpacas."

Clivewood Alpacas responded:

"Thank you. Was lovely to have you here. Wellies are now on the list. "

"Spent a really great day weaving a very professional looking scarf under the expert instruction of Caroline. Wonderful venue and lovely lunch provided. Meeting the alpacas who had supplied the wool was a treat. Need to take wellies though some were provided. Altogether a really good day, I would highly recommend. "

Clivewood Alpacas responded:

"Thank you, it was an absolute pleasure. Will remind people to bring wellies in the winter. "

Paul reviewed: Weave an alpaca scarf in a day

"A thoroughly enjoyable day. Great friendly and inspiring tuition. A full day of interest including producing a great scarf on good equipment in a purpose built workroom, followed by meeting the Alpacas which had provided the beautiful yarn that we worked on the looms. A very good lunch broke up the day very nicely and we all completed our scarves in the afternoon. Lots of support and advice through the day helped to inspire my wife and I to want to do more weaving. We ended with the opportunity to purchase some beautiful items made by Caroline with wool from the Alpacas. Thanks for a lovely day."

Clivewood Alpacas responded:

"Thank you. "

"Fantastic day with excellent tuition from Caroline throughout. My friend and I completed our beautiful scarves with Caroline's guidance and are now proud to wear them. To make a fabulous day more exciting we visited the Alpacas and were told which ones the wool came from that we used. Lunch was delicious. Can't praise this course enough."

Jackie Hall reviewed: Weave an alpaca scarf in a day

"I had a really lovely day. Caroline was an attentive teacher and host. The farm and facilities are excellent. We even got a tour around the farm and met the alpacas from which the yarn for our scarves came from. I had never weaved before and I came home with a complete scarf made of the softest, natural alpaca yarn. Oh and the lunch was excellent too. I highly recommend this course. "

Clivewood Alpacas responded:

"Thank you Jackie. "

Jo Murray reviewed: Weave an alpaca scarf in a day

"I attended this course last Saturday with my sister and I loved every minute and despite my sister not being at all craftsy, she did too! We had a warm welcome, in depth and knowledgeable instruction from Caroline and Becky and all the help we needed to create our own woven alpaca scarves. I have not stopped wearing mine since! Lunch was delicious, seeing the alpacas and the mill was also another highlight. Just lovely day all round. Definitely recommend."

Clivewood Alpacas responded:

"Thank you so much, I’m glad you’re wearing your scarf, it was beautiful. "

Dee reviewed: Weave an alpaca scarf in a day

"A very creative and enjoyable day. Peaceful setting with a patient trainer in Caroline. Resources and instructions were clearly laid out. Help and guidance was always on hand. A full day needed to complete the scarf but additional time was given if needed. Hope to repeat the course in the summer with a friend. Satisfying to come away with a beautiful, unique, hand made scarf. Thank you"

Clivewood Alpacas responded:

"Dee Thank you. It was a pleasure to teach you. Looking forward to seeing you again. Caroline "

Lesley Sparks reviewed: Weave an alpaca scarf in a day

"Fabulous day. Caroline was a great host. Everything was explained so that we not only left with a completed scarf but with weaving knowledge that may prove essential in the future. Meeting the alpacas in their surroundings and seeing the mill at work was very interesting. All in all a very enjoyable experience "

Clivewood Alpacas responded:

"Lesley Was lovely to have you here and your scarf was beautiful. Caroline "

"The day exceeded my expectations - great studio, fabulous tutor, and a lovely touch of being able to meet the alpacas who 'donated' their wool for the project. Highly recommended!"

"Thank you, it was a pleasure teaching you. I hope you enjoy continuing to weave. "
