Learn the traditional craft of Swiss darning with visiting craftsperson Mirabel Oliver - a practical skill for extending the life of your favourite knits.Swiss darning is a precise and resourceful way to repair knitted fabric by recreating the original stitches with a needle and yarn. It’s ideal for reinforcing thin areas and keeping the stretch and look of knitwear. In this workshop, you will learn the stitch and achieve an invisible mend on a knitted swatch using appropriate yarn - all materials are provided. You’re welcome to bring a knitted garment in need of repair and as time allows, Mirabel will discuss different mending approaches using participants’ pieces.
