Visible Mending for Knitwear Workshop

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

Join us for an exploration of some techniques for creating visible and celebratory mends on your knitwear!

Tickets are available to book through Eventbrite.

Mending is a slow act of care and respect for the workers who made your garment. Bring new life to well loved knitwear, by celebrating the scars of wear and tear.

Come and get some inspiration, and then try a couple of techniques yourself, including:

  • Swiss darning or duplicate stitch

  • Needle felting

  • Decorative darning

With time, attention and a few simple tools you can learn the skills needed to give a new lease of life to your most loved garments!

This workshop is partly funded by the Highland Waste Community Partnership and is running as part of the Highland Climate Festival 2022.
