When you love your knits like stitchers do, there’s bound to be times when garments wear out. In this workshop, students are asked to bring in handknits that have worn out as well as some swatches. We’ll learn three different ways of darning, how to use a darning egg, and how to catch problems before they happen. Then, we will ramp things up, learning how to re-inforce fabrics and reweave portions of knitwear. Bring pieces you wish to repair, as the last part of the class will discuss various repair options.
Bring 2-3 4” swatches that have been wet blocked in light colored DK or Worsted yarn. Crochet hooks in various sizes, bent tip needle, Variety of DP needles.
Materials fee: $5.00
Ages 12 and up only.
