Join our very popular knitting class and learn how to knit with our resident expert Sandra Moretti! For all levels! Bring your own knitting needles and yarn (so that you can take them with you after class to keep working!). You’ll leave with lifelong skills and skeins and skeins of confidence. If you’re new to knitting: the best needles for beginners are straight, bamboo needles in sizes 5 mm–7mm—or if you already have yarn, check the label and it will indicate the right size needles to use. For yarn, a bulky-weight wool blend is best, but a medium worsted weight will work, too. These are available at any craft or knitting store.

Only 3 spots left!
