DESCRIPTION
Join us for a fall mending circle and learn to repair your cold-weather knitwear by hand. Together we'll darn our sweaters, socks, and delicate wool base layers. We’ll be focusing on hand-sewing and visible mending techniques.

Students should bring current mending projects such as knit socks and sweaters with holes, jeans with minor repairs, wool base layers with runs or holes, or T-shirts and blouses in need of mending. Please bring any project-specific threads, patch fabric, buttons, needles and scissors that you like to work with. 

SUPPLY INFORMATION
Your non-refundable materials fee covers embroidery hoops, round tip needles in various sizes for wool darning, and high quality darning thread. Please bring any project-specific threads, patch fabric, buttons, needles and scissors that you like to work with.
