Date: Friday, January 23rd
Time: 3-5 pm
Location: Stage Classroom 1
Instructor: Justin Near
Unraveling knit sweaters can provide you with plenty of high-quality yarn (up to a mile!) at a very low cost, but not all sweaters are made equal. Learn how to choose the right sweater to unravel, de-seam a sweater (the hard part!), and unravel it (the fun part!).
Share your bounty with others in the class and learn how to spin the different sweaters together to make a new yarn, completely unique (no previous spinning experience required).
Price: YAC members $45 / non-members $47
Registration closes at 12 pm (noon) on January 21st. No refunds will be given after this time.
Experience Level:
Challenging buy fun! Class is open to ages 18 and up!
Materials Provided:
Every student will be provided with one thrift-store sweater to keep.
Materials Needed:
Feel free to bring a sweater from home to learn more about it. There will be tools to share, but feel free to bring a ball winder if you have one and any tools that might help you see detailed work.
