Over 900 people attended the Spinning Yarns Festival at a sunny Mossley Mill on Saturday (September 7).

Special guests Angeline Murphy from The Great British Sewing Bee and crochet designer, Eleonora Tully, captivated audiences with inspiring talks.

The festival was filled with interactive workshops, a bustling marketplace of craft stalls, live demonstrations by the Ulster Guild of Spinners, Weavers, and Dyers, and fun activities for all ages, including a Viking village and alpacas.
