A 3 hour Zoom workshop on repairing textured knitted fabrics using swiss darning.

This will be a relaxed and friendly workshop where you will learn how to repair textured knitted fabrics using the swiss darning method.

We will start by looking at some different knit and purl stitch combinations and how to reinforce them, and then we will try an example of repairing a hole with a textured knit so that the textured pattern is continued over the repair.

The workshop will explore knit and purl stitch combinations and ribs.

This workshop is not suitable for beginners, and it will be expected that you have mastered the basics of swiss darning already.

You will need to knit your own swatch* to practice on, and provide your own materials. I will email you with some guidance for creating a swatch and choosing your materials when you book your place so you can knit the stitches we will be looking at.

You will also need to provide your own scissors and sewing thread. You might also want to bring along your own knitwear that you want to mend or customise or discuss.

The workshop will be recorded and the link sent to you, so you can re-watch if you would like to afterwards. This will be available for 6 months.

All places reserved on this workshop are non-refundable, and it can be very difficult to swap dates, so please check your calendar before booking!

All swiss darning on textured knits workshop times are UK time. This is GMT until the 1st April, and then BST until the 28th October 2024.

The zoom link will be emailed to you a week in advance, and on the day of the workshop.

*If you are unable to knit and would like to have materials provided for the workshop, I can post a textured fabric, darning wool and a needle to you in advance. This kit will cost £49 plus postage. Please email me to arrange this.
