Eventbrite Description:
Join our London Repair Specialist, Ruth Timms, to learn two different darning techniques to repair your well-loved knitwear.
Bring along a garment to repair - it could be a sock, jumper, or any chunkier knitted item such as a blanket. Learn duplicate stitch (Swiss Darning) to repair and reinforce, or practice creating a woven darn to fix holes in your knitwear.
Suitable for all skill levels, all materials, clothing to repair, and tools will be provided, along with drinks from our partners Pentire and Harbour.
