"Enjoyed the course, very pleased with the end result of my Hare. Time went so quick. Victoria was very helpful and wants you to get a lovely piece to take home "

Lucie reviewed: Peg Loom Seat Mat made with fleeces from our own flock.

"If you want to spend your Sunday in a fun and relaxing way, peg loom weaving may be just the thing for you. To ensure we all finish our makes, Victoria was happy to go over the designated time! She had prepared a mountain of wool from the sheep in her care- I used the softest white wool from Peter Pan, the sheep who loves to wear hats and other head gear. You could choose from different colours, and some added a piece of fabric to their design. My completed project is on my office chair already and is very comfortable. Peg loom weaving is very achievable and the final result is rewarding. "

The Willow Barn responded:

"Hi Lucie, Thank you and so glad you enjoyed your time here making your fabulous seat pad. I'll let Peter Pan know you gave him a mention. ;-)"

"Thank you and so glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you again."

"A very relaxed atmosphere throughout the day, I never felt under any pressure to keep up and worked at my own pace but Victoria was never far away if she was needed. I returned home with a reindeer that I was very pleased with ( my cocker spaniel’s not sure at the moment ) but overall a very enjoyable experience, thank you Victoria "

The Willow Barn responded:

"So glad you enjoyed your day Dennis. You made a fabulous Reindeer."

"Victoria was an excellent teacher, learnt a lot on how to make a great reindeer and the techniques involved. She was available to adjust, help and give advice if needed. A good workshop and kettle was always available for cuppas. A lovely way to spend a Sunday 🦌. A gift shop to buy things from as well. "
