Bring your winter woollies or other well-loved knits along to a hands-on 2-hour darning workshop. You will learn basic darning skills and come away with knit-wear that is winter-ready.
Bring your clothes for darning/repairing. Eg socks, jumpers, scarves and we can discuss the best starting point and explore solutions for trickier mending problems. Also, please note, very fine knitwear can be a little delicate for these methods, so we recommend starting with a mid-weight to chunky knit.
We will provide you with yarns and threads, and repair tools/equipment. Student discounts apply.
