Katie Richards reviewed: Weave an alpaca scarf in a day

"Fabulous day which was a birthday gift for a friend. Stunning Shropshire countryside, a friendly welcome, a really lovely day. Weaved our own scarf which we are delighted with considering we were complete beginners and got to meet the Alpacas who's wool we were using which was just as brilliant. Caroline was a great host. I can wear my scarf knowing the names of the Alpacas who donated their coat :) "

"Thank you Katie, it was lovely having you both here. Caroline "

Paul reviewed: Weave an alpaca scarf in a day

"A thoroughly enjoyable day. Great friendly and inspiring tuition. A full day of interest including producing a great scarf on good equipment in a purpose built workroom, followed by meeting the Alpacas which had provided the beautiful yarn that we worked on the looms. A very good lunch broke up the day very nicely and we all completed our scarves in the afternoon. Lots of support and advice through the day helped to inspire my wife and I to want to do more weaving. We ended with the opportunity to purchase some beautiful items made by Caroline with wool from the Alpacas. Thanks for a lovely day."

Clivewood Alpacas responded:

"Thank you. "

Jackie Hall reviewed: Weave an alpaca scarf in a day

"I had a really lovely day. Caroline was an attentive teacher and host. The farm and facilities are excellent. We even got a tour around the farm and met the alpacas from which the yarn for our scarves came from. I had never weaved before and I came home with a complete scarf made of the softest, natural alpaca yarn. Oh and the lunch was excellent too. I highly recommend this course. "

"I attended this course last Saturday with my sister and I loved every minute and despite my sister not being at all craftsy, she did too! We had a warm welcome, in depth and knowledgeable instruction from Caroline and Becky and all the help we needed to create our own woven alpaca scarves. I have not stopped wearing mine since! Lunch was delicious, seeing the alpacas and the mill was also another highlight. Just lovely day all round. Definitely recommend."

"A very creative and enjoyable day. Peaceful setting with a patient trainer in Caroline. Resources and instructions were clearly laid out. Help and guidance was always on hand. A full day needed to complete the scarf but additional time was given if needed. Hope to repeat the course in the summer with a friend. Satisfying to come away with a beautiful, unique, hand made scarf. Thank you"

Ruth Webster reviewed: Weave an alpaca scarf in a day

"I went to Clivewood Alpacas with my 94 year old Mum. We had such a lovely day, Caroline was so kind and patient. We really enjoyed meeting the beautiful Alpacas. It was a wonderful day for me on so many levels, it gave me so much pleasure seeing Mum so happy and engaged, whilst we were both weaving a beautiful scarf in a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere, in the great company of like minded people, with the gorgeous Alpacas looking on. Caroline was so generous with her help and advice - and unbelievably creative- we were both in awe of her! Meeting the Alpacas was a wonderful treat in itself. The lunch was delicious. We had our beautiful hand woven scarves to take home- this course was worth every penny, you definitely won’t be disappointed ☺️"
