The Green Barn

The Green Barn is based near Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight. On our farm we raise and shear a small mixed breed fibre flock, including Wensleydale Sheep for their wool and our speciality, Angora Goats for their Mohair.

In our workshop can be seen the traditional hands on methods that are used for carding, spinning, felting and weaving.

We produce a range of rugs, cushions, scarves, shawls and other items, all of which are offered for sale in The Green Barn Shop.

Further to this is our range of commercial fibres and yarns for other textile artists, spinners, knitters and weavers. This is alongside a wide, growing supply of materials, tools, equipment and more for makers and crafters.

Together with this, we have The Pod, a self-contained studio for new and experienced makers to attend taster days, workshops and classes.

The Pod is available to book for one off events or regular sessions.

With various events and such throughout the year, we work with other Island creatives to collectively share and promote the wonder that is fibre, fleece and many other crafts.

The Green Barn - the emerging Island hub for rural crafts and makers.
