Woolly Celebration Day at Kate Kearney’s Cottage
A special Woolly Celebration Day will take place at Kate Kearney’s Cottage on Saturday, November 8, from 11am to 5pm.
The event is hosted by The Wise Wool Project in partnership with Curraghmore Farm and The Nature Hub.
The day will explore one of Ireland’s most valuable yet often overlooked natural resources , wool.
Visitors can follow the story of wool from fleece to fabric and take part in a range of hands-on activities, including wet felting, needle felting, spinning and tablet weaving.
There will also be a panel discussion with local farmers, artists and educators on the importance of wool in Ireland’s heritage and its potential role in a more sustainable future.
Wool was once central to rural life, but today it is often treated as waste, costing farmers more to shear than it is worth.
The Wise Wool Project aims to draw attention to this issue and encourage creative, community-led solutions.
The Woolly Celebration Day is funded by Kerry Arts Council and Creative Communities and is open to anyone interested in crafts, nature or sustainable living.
Admission is free, but booking is required for workshops. To reserve a place, visit curraghmorefarm.ie/wisewoolcelebration2025.
