WORKSHOP IDEAS
Here are some workshop ideas for inspiration. If you can’t see what you are looking for in this list feel free to get in touch (form at the bottom of this page) and we will try and make it happen for you!
Introduction to darning
-
Darning is an age-old technique for repairing holes in cloth. Maybe you have a holey sock, or a favourite moth eaten jumper you want to save but don’t know how. In this workshop you’ll learn the basics of darning, tips for visible and invisible mending and get to try it out yourself.
-
According to Wrap Repairing a hole in your favourite wool jumper instead of buying a new one could save over 16kg CO2e, equivalent to leaving a standard (60W) lightbulb on for over 50 days.
Not only is it restorative for your garments, darning is slow and mindful technique, it can be great for unwinding, relaxing and taking your mind off other things. The only thing to be wary of…. it can become seriously addictive; you'll be hunting for holey clothes to repair.
-
Participants can bring an item in with a hole or practice on our scrap fabrics.
We will bring an array of yarns, wools and equipment that you might need. We will bring as extensive a range as we can but if there is a specific colour you would like you may want to source it prior to the workshop.
We will give you an introductory lesson on how to darn with support and guidance as you try it for yourself
We can pitch the difficulty and offer different levels to suit the abilities of the participants on the day.
We recommend wool and knitted garments or thicker items like jeans/jackets.
T-shirts/thin shirts are not so suitable for this kind of repair.
-
We recommend at least 1.5 to 2 hours for this workshop to get the full benefit.
-
We can bring our darning wools and anywhere! Or you can come to us.
-
A darning kit to take home with needle yarns and our instructions.
