Blanket arm knitting workshop at Wallington
Learn the skills involved in arm knitting in this 2 hour workshop led by Michelle of Craftisan and leave with a beautiful crafted item hand-made (or should we say arm-made) by you.
- Booking essential
You will be taught how to cast on, create the stitches for your chunky blanket and cast off - using only the equipment you will need, your hands and arms of course!
The workshop is suitable for total beginners with no knitting experience needed.
To create your blanket you will be using a 2kg unspun acrylic Mammoth Wool, with an array of colours to choose from.
This is a fun and therapeutic workshop, where you will be amazed at watching your blanket “grow” on your arms.
