And now visitors to this year’s Wool Festival at Leeds Industrial Museum in Armley will be learning the art of Shetland lace from a leading knitting expert.

At the event at Leeds Industrial Museum on June 4, knitwear designer Karie Westermann, who also teaches classes across the UK, will deliver a workshop. The third festival will also include a market place with a selection of locally-produced textiles.
