The Weavery has a New Home

- Jeanette de Lange -

A change is as good as a holiday, so they say. Until it’s experienced!

From a cinema to a general dealer, to an art gallery – and now a weavery – what a transformation to the imposing building at 55 Church St.

Met ‘n alles-in-een lokaal. Spinwiele, weeframe, stoommasjien, balle en balle gekleurde wol.

Fassinerend om te kyk hóe die eindproduk groei en groei, rytjie vir rytjie. Elke styf gespande draad, stringe geweefde wol. Elke proses ‘n prentjie vir kyk, waardeer, geniet en jou mat word deel van ‘n groter legkaart.

But the Weavery is not only about dyeing, spinning and weaving. There’s more – a burst of colour – wool for knitting, scarves, blankets, glass, baskets, delightful scents of soaps and lotions.
Stop! Stop! You owe it to yourself to pop in, feast your eyes, enjoy.
