A 3 hour Zoom workshop on the swiss darning method for knitwear.

This will be a relaxed and friendly workshop suitable for beginners, where you will learn how to repair your knitwear using the swiss darning method, or duplicate stitch. We will start from the beginning, using swiss darning as reinforcement, and will then cover how to use it to repair holes in your knitwear. We will also spend time being creative with it, exploring pattern. The aim of workshop is to leave you confident to start repairing your own knitwear in a creative way.

Swiss darning is also a very useful skill if you would like to invisibly mend your knitwear.

The zoom link will be emailed to you a week in advance, and on the day of the workshop.

You will need to provide your own materials, and will be e-mailed guidance for choosing them once you’ve booked your place.

If you would prefer to have materials sent to you in advance (which is currently not an option if you are in the US), that’s also an option.

The workshop will be recorded and the link sent to you, so you can re-watch if you would like to afterwards. This will be available for 6 months.

All places reserved on this workshop are non refundable, and it can be very difficult to swap dates, so please check your calendar before booking!

All swiss darning workshop times are UK time. This is GMT until the 1st April, and then BST until the 26th October 2025.
