2 hours per week, hands-on small group class. All levels/no experience necessary. All materials included.
In this 4-week class, you will learn basic techniques to repair your favorite knits. We will discuss sweater care and best practices along the way. These techniques can all be done as visible mends or blended in.
Week 1: Basic darning
Week 2: Fine knits
Week 3: Chunky knits
Week 4: Swiss darning and duplicate stitch
We will be providing material to practice on, however, if you have any sweaters you'd like to repair, please bring those along.
Please note: If you think any of your items have damage from moths (i.e. moth holes), you will need to place them in a ziplock bag and put them in your freezer for a minimum of 72 hours before class. This usually happens to sweaters, scarves and other items that are made of natural fibers like wool and alpaca- you will not often see actual moths- just the holes they have left. Please keep your items in the ziplocks until class. This stops them from snacking and protects everyone else’s garments, it is extremely important to keep the studio moth-free.
