The Longest Yarn Exhibition at Sherborne Abbey

Residents enjoyed a fascinating visit to Sherborne Abbey to explore the latest installation by The Longest Yarn group.

The exhibition featured an impressive collection of knitted scenes inspired by life during the Second World War, from intricately crafted tableaux to remarkably accurate replicas of period uniforms.

As we moved through the displays, residents took time to read the accompanying booklets, discovering the stories and dedication behind each piece. Rose was particularly struck by the craftsmanship, noting, “It must have taken hours!”

The visit offered a thoughtful blend of history, creativity, and community talent — a memorable afternoon for everyone involved.
