A MINATURE replica of Cloughmills in Co Antrim has been recreated using wool.

The 35 members of Cloughmills Crochet Club spent seven months making the village after photographing different buildings.

The replica includes landmarks both past and present from Cloughmills. The model was made using cereal boxes which were then covered with the crochet.

While crocheting is similar to knitting, it requires only one needle.
