Got bags, baskets, & bins full of bits, bobs, skeins & scraps? Let’s put them to WORK. Different dye-lots? Who cares! Different fiber make-ups? No problem! Let’s use up the random scraps we have! Let’s buy the random skein that calls to us! Knitting should be FUN! In this workshop, we will learn the simple, but liberating technique of holding together strands of scrap and stash yarn in all different weights, fibers, and colors to turn simple knitted items into something entirely our own. You will leave the class looking at your yarn collection with fresh eyes and real excitement. We are truly over-the-moon to welcome Park to Philadelphia alongside our yarny Mt. Airy neighbors, Kelbourne Woolens. Please note this workshop takes place at Kelbourne Woolens - a hop, skip, and a jump (one mile) away from Wild Hand! Teaching Artist Park Williams is an Idaho-raised, Chicago-based knitwear designer, theatre maker & cozy life lover. Interested in sparking curiosity & encouraging play, Park’s goal as a designer is to create patterns which offer knitters both the freedom and framework to make something entirely their own. Her work can be found on Instagram (@parknknit), Ravelry (parkandknit) or parknknit.com.
