WEEKEND AT WOOLWINDERS

We have just a few spots left for the FELTED MITTENS program on Sunday, and just in time since it promises to be REALLY COLD this weekend!!! Come join us as we knit mittens for toddlers, children or adults out of pure wool that will then be felted. Materials you will need will vary depending on which mittens you are knitting. For toddlers/children you will need one skein of DK weight wool (we recommend the Patricia Roberts or the Baby Alpaca DK) and size 7-8 DPNs, for adults 160-270 yards of Worsted Wool (try Cascade 220 or Wooly Stripes) and Size 10-10.5 dpns. We are hoping to get a shipment of DPNS in this week but if you have your own, bring them along! As always, the program is free of charge and runs from 2-4 PM. Knowing how to work on dpns is helpful, but you don’t need to have made mittens prior to the program. And we’ll even explain the ins and outs of felting!

And our intrepid lace knitters continue their Saturday KAL. We were SO gratified to see nearly everyone return (and the ones who didn’t called to explain schedule conflicts), and are also pleased to report that the 10” we have knit is just beautiful and well worth the time to knit on that tiny exquisite lace merino!
