Woolly Wearables is a hands-on, fun design adventure for kids aged 3 to 8 years.

The National Wool Museum is heading on the road these school holidays and popping up at a library. Join us for story time, craft and fun for Woolly Wearables – a hands-on, design adventure for kids aged 3–8 years. Inspired by the 'We the Makers: Sustainable Fashion Prize', this drop-in session is all about creativity, colour, and caring for the planet.

Children will design their very own eco-fashion character using real wool, recycled fabric, and fun textile treasures. From fabulous felt to colourful yarn, every child becomes a mini fashion designer with a big imagination.

Story time: 10.30am-11.00am

Museum activities: 11am-12pm

Drop in - no bookings required
