Question 1

ACCESS ISSUES

Accepted Answer

Coburg House is an old building with lots of stairs and no lift. My studio is on the second floor. I realise this isn't ideal and am looking into alternatives for future events. If you have a wool allergy this may also cause a problem. Please contact me to discuss alternatives.

Question 2

What should I bring with me?

Accepted Answer

A notebook, pen and/or pencil.  I'll have all the tools and yarn you need. If you have some special yarn you want to try out, by all means bring it along and we can see if it works on the machine but it's not necessary.

Question 3

Is this a class for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely! This class starts at the very beginning, introducing the basic concepts and techniques of machine knitting.

Lothian Buses routes 16, 34, 35, 36 to Commercial Street and a short walk around the Aldi supermarket or routes 7, 10, 14, 21 to Great Junction Street (where it crosses the Water of Leith) and a short walk down Coburg Street.

Question 5

Is there parking?

There is on-street parking in the area. There are also ever-changing road works! I will update you in the follow up email if you are attending a workshop.
