Overview
Join Selina as she teaches you how to darning your knitwear using the woven technique in this 3 hour workshop at Knit With Me. The woven darn is a simple, beautiful way to extend the life of your clothes - once a common household skill, it is now nearly forgotten in the age of fast fashion. In this three-hour workshop, you’ll learn this traditional hand-mending technique and use it to repair a cherished garment. All materials will be provided and no previous experience needed, so just bring yourself and some excitement to learn.
