Got a bunch of worn-out sock and holey sweaters in your mending pile? Join sustainable sewist and mending advocate Noah Hirsch in learning to darn knit garments and get them back into use as the weather turns colder! This class will teach a basic darning technique that can be used on socks or sweaters to achieve either a subtle mend that blends in or a decorative visible mend that stands out!

Materials needed for each student:

-Yarn, sashiko thread, or embroidery thread in color of choice, either matching the garment for subtle mends or contrasting for visible mending.

-Darning egg (if mending a sock) or embroidery hoop (if mending a sweater)

-Tapestry needles

-Thread scissors

-A knit garment in need of mending: Medium thickness is easiest to darn, so not super-thin ankle socks or your finest knit sweater but also not your thickest socks or chunkiest sweater! If you have questions as to what would be a good garment to bring, please feel free to contact me.
