Let’s Talk about Crochet… and Yarn! with Eleonora Tully

Theatre Auditorium
11.30am
Included in admission price

Eleonora Tully, also known as ‘Coastal Crochet’, returns to Spinning Yarns for a fourth year with an all new inspiring talk. A crochet designer known for hosting colourful blanket crochet-alongs, Eleonora is a hugely experienced crocheter and incorporates a wide variety of techniques and styles into her designs. Whether you’re a seasoned crocheter, a beginner, have never crocheted before or maybe you’ve tried but not succeeded, there will be something of interest in Eleonora’s talk as she demystifies crochet, talking about stitches, design concepts and sharing general crochet know how. In 2023 Eleonora revealed her ‘Causeway Coast’ Blanket at the Spinning Yarns Festival which was fully inspired by her visits to Northern Ireland and falling in love with our stunning Causeway Coast. Eleonora will have this blanket plus many others with her and maybe she will be sharing a few spin off ‘Causeway Coast’ designs too!
