<h3>Many is the sweater that has been lost to moths. Take back your beloved knits! Students will learn how to close and cover small holes in fine knits like cashmere and merino and also how to mend thin and worn out elbows through both Scotch darning and patching. Besides sweaters, the skills in this class also work great for wool scarves and socks! </h3><h3>No knitting skills required! It helps if students already have some familiarity with sewing, but even absolute beginners can succeed in this class. All materials are included. <br><br><strong><strong>Instructor Cirrus Wood</strong></strong> is a self-taught artisan who enjoys coming up with and learning new techniques to make clothing more visually appealing and more durable.
