The group cover the whole range of crafts with a needle: knitting and crochet, embroidery, dressmaking, quilting and patchwork, etc, etc.

Our meetings are a mixture of 'bring, show, do and ask, and talks, along with the occasional outing. The organisation of the group is shared amongst the members.

We regularly contribute to the annual Romsey Yarn Bombing. This year the group contributed four bollard covers, all in Romsey's Market Place.

The group also visits local places of interest, for example, Whitchurch Silk Mill or Winchester Abbey to learn more about materials and how they are used.
