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.
