Darning Workshop

  • Velocity Café & Bicycle Workshop 1 Crown Avenue Inverness, Scotland, IV2 3NF United Kingdom (map)

Please book your place via Eventbrite.

Join us for a darning workshop at the Velocity café!

Emily, Velocity CEO and passionate and experienced knitter, will be leading an introductory workshop on basic darning techniques, as well as offering up some creative approaches on how to mend a knitted item you may have. The workshop is an opportunity to brush up on your skills, or learn as a complete beginner in an open, sociable and informal space.

Please feel free to bring along a knitted item in need of repair and we can discuss and explore approaches to visible mending. There will also be samples for inspiration. Learn, or enhance your square darning skills to enable you to revive your favourite wool jumper or socks.

All levels and experience are welcome. It is a chance to learn from Emily, have a blether and enjoy learning about visible mending! We will have a range of materials but anyone who has please bring your supplies.

Materials and equipment we would encourage you to bring: knitted item to repair and yarn.

A hot drink of your choice will be provided between 6.30-7pm.
