Weaving Yarns

Weaving Yarns Heather Wastie writes and performs poems, songs & monologues. This Page focuses on her project about the carpet industry, Weaving Yarns.

Kidderminster was founded on the carpet industry. A very high proportion of people living in the town have connections with it, whether directly or through family members. There is a huge sense of pride associated with it and a great deal of active interest in local history. This project aims to keep alive people’s stories through songs, poetry and prose. Heather began researching and writing abou

t this subject in summer 2012. In October 2012, a new Museum of Carpet opened its doors in Kidderminster. Heather was its Writer In Residence in 2013, thanks to Arts Council Lottery funding and a grant from Worcestershire Arts Partnership.
