CLASSES

This is a sample of the classes we have had so far this year. Check back later or call 616-395-9665 for more information.

INTRODUCTION TO WEAVING ON A RIGID HEDDLE LOOM – This is your chance to learn a little about weaving and have a chance to play on a loom.  We will go over what you can do on a rigid heddle and how to get started.   

CROCHETED FLOWERS – Learn to make the gorgeous flowers you have seen as pins and embellishments on hats, sweaters and bags.  No prior experience needed.

INTRODUCTION TO SPINNING AND FIBER – Does spinning fascinate you?  Ready to give it a try?  This evening we will look at what it takes to spin your own yarn.  You will have a chance to try it yourself and ask questions.  We will also talk about fibers that are readily available to spin in our area if time allows.

KNITTING ON 2 CIRCULAR NEEDLES – Learn this technique that can be used anytime a pattern calls for double pointed needles.  You can make socks, mittens, sleeves, hats and more using 2 circulars.

FELTED CLOGS – One of our most popular classes and patterns.  Many of our knitters have made dozens of these for friends and family.  These clogs are fun, quick and interesting to knit.

BEGINNING KNITTING – Learn to knit or brush up on the basics.  These 2 classes will get you on the road to knitting items for yourself and others.  We cover all the basics and more if time allows.

SCRAP AFGHAN – Choose a basic yarn and then dig into our pile of scraps to put together this wonderful afghan.  You think you have a stash, wait til you see ours!

BUBBLE SCARF – This pretty scarf by Lucy Neatby is a great introduction to double knitting.  You will have fun and be really proud of what you can do.

FREE FORM PURSE – Using free form knit and crochet techniques make a one of a kind purse that others will drool over.
