Create your part in the National Wool Museum's Exhibition of Hope

National Wool Museum

Thank you for your square contributions. Contributions for Exhibition of Hope have now closed.

The Exhibition of Hope involved the creation of 8 inch or 20cm rainbow coloured squares. These will now be joined together by National Wool Museum Volunteers and exhibited later in the year at the National Wool Museum and following this, the National Waterfront Museum, Swansea.

Please keep an eye out on this page and @amgueddfawlan Facebook and Twitter pages for more information about the Exhibition of Hope.

Rainbows are often used as a symbol of peace and hope and as we know, they often appear when the sun shines following heavy rainfall. They serve to remind us that following dark times, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you for getting in touch with us. I'm afraid a date still hasn't been confirmed yet. Please keep an eye on this webpage as now we have a date for re-opening we are in a position to make arrangements to receive the knitted squares. All information will be posted on our website and social media channels.

Kind regards,

I have a large drawing of an oversizes ball of wool of which I have a digital image.

I made the drawing for an exhibition at the Brecknock Museum celebrating Welsh Wool and sheep farming at the time of the Foot and Mouth crisis in 2001.

Seeing your information for the Exhibition of Hope, I wondered if you would like me to send you an image of the drawing to use on your website,
Just an idea !
