Mending on Knits

Teacher: Elise Webb
Course: One 2-hour session
3 to 6 students

Does your favorite hand-knit shawl have a pesky hole? Have moths gotten to your store bought sweater? Join Elise for a “darn” good time and together we’ll look at how to choose the right fix for any knit. Anything from a classic darn to invisible re-knitting!

We’ll start by looking at the structure of the knitted garment itself and the problem of a hole. We’ll move on to the idea of “re-knitting” and discuss the classic darn. Finally we’ll take a look at some of the more niche tools in my mending kit and learn how they’re used. You can even add the tools to your knitting bag!

No knitting experience is required, however this is a fairly technical class that would not be suited for young children or those who are just taking their first steps into the crafting world.

All practice tools and materials will be provided in this hands-on class. However, feel free to bring in your own damaged items as well. We won’t fix them in class, but we’ll examine them and make sure you have the proper skills to mend them at home.

$5 materials fee is due to the instructor at time of class.

Please reach out to us directly at sales@fiberrhythm.com if you need to bring a support person so that we can assure there is enough space for everyone.
