Join Erin Eggenburg of Wrenbirdarts for a darning class to learn intermediate knit repair! In this workshop, your instructor will cover how to darn in pattern, shape, and the elusive duplicate stitch technique. You will also learn surface patterns including, twill, plaid, and chevron. You'll also learn the technique to repair missing stitches and holes with Swiss darning.
Bring your items in need of darning, or use the provided scrap knits to practice these freshly learned darning skills. Lots of thread and yarn will be provided, but bring your own if you want to work with a particular color or type of yarn. Darning needles are also provided.
