We're all met together here to sit and to clack With our glasses in our hands and our work upon our back There's nae a trade among 'em who could mend or could knack If it wasna for the Work O' the Weavers
CHORUS:
If it wasna for the weavers wha' would ya do? Ya wouldna hae no cloth tha's made o' wool. Ya wouldna hae no greens, nor your greys, nor your blues If it wasna for the work o' the weavers.

Learn how to felt fluffy sheep's wool into a bead, a flower, a hair piece and more. Come along and have fun to learn something new. It's easy and could be done with kids as well! By donation.
Back in 2008 we published a number of wee video clips on google:
Google Videos now are discontinued, and we have transferred them to youtube.
You might now find broken links somewhere in old posts here. If so - please report them to us, so we can corrcct them. Thank you
Up and running, literally!, are now the ones with Heather and Laryna singing whilst felting the Hebridean fleeces; and Alan Torrance teaching cross sword dance.
