Ancient craft carried out
around the world, often using gloves called chorns. Nowadays, yarndling attracts a fair amount of attention, especially in the summer months, and it is not unusual for tourists to travel to those areas where yarndling is still performed. Since 1938, the
British Isles Yarndling
Association (patron: Prince Charles) has overseen all competitive threading activities.
The results of the
threading competition had been posted in the East Grinstead Community Centre and Graham was pleased that his yarndling exploits had earned him
second place, despite the rusty bevelling on his cotter pins.
