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.

welcome the Hebridean fleeces home
November 2007 - we welcome home the Hebridean fleeces - as this rare breed has been extinct from the Isles and is now coming back; with big thank you, from all at the Galgael. to John from Iona and his dark happy girls there
The 0.70m x 1.35m hand woven rug from recycled cotton strips is finished. We did cut hundreds of strips from, pillow cases, duvet covers, sheets, skirts, t-shirts, tops, hoodies and more to weave this colourful rug. Many hands from small to tall folk were having a shot at the hand loom. Most people were weaving for the very first time in their life! They all enjoyed it, some for longer and others just for a wee trial. We are happy to take commissions for an individualized rug! Come along to Galgael on a Thursday night from about 5.30pm and meet us wool crafters and lots more lovely folk. You can email us: woolcraft.atgalgael@googlemail.com
