Learn how to darn your clothes! Darning is a kind of mending used primarily for knitwear. 

Sivia will teach several methods during this workshop that you can use right away to start darning your socks, sweaters, and other knitwear. These darning techniques can also be used for mending other garments.

All skill levels are welcome, and we encourage you to bring your own items to work on, though we also provide practice items. All materials provided, and you will go home with a little mending kit!
