Tamworth Saturday Yarners group eager for more locals to come along

The group is looking for more members to come along and bring their yarning, knitting, crocheting, weaving, felting, spinning, dying and even patchwork projects to do together.

Members simply gather at the Tamworth Regional Craft Centre every Saturday from 10am-1pm to work on their projects and enjoy a cuppa and conversation.

Saturday Yarners member Diana Gilkes said those who wanted to learn a new skill were also welcome to attend.

"We help anyone with our craft that we can, because some people come in and they may have their own expertise and come in and help some of the members," Ms Gilkes said.

"One lady is learning how to knit and crochet and hasn't done it before."

Her opinion is "the more the merrier".

"It's a lot fun, and it's very good being able to meet more people," she told the Leader.

"They can just turn up and if they're in the process of doing something, bring it along or we'll get them going on something."

The craft centre has numerous workshops through the week for locals to learn something new.

The Saturday Yarners group was formed for those who weren't able to attend the mid week gatherings.

The centre is located on the corner of Marius and Peel streets, across from the Northgate Shopping Centre.
