Thrums in Knitting

Description

Thrumming is an old , traditional technique where pieces of clean sheep’s fleece are knitted in with normal yarn to add extra warmth to, for example, mittens and hats.

Suitable for participants who have some (even basic) knowledge of knitting, although it can cater for the brave souls who have no experience and are game to learn both at the same time!

All equipment and materials provided and you can take a supply of needles, wool and fleece home with you to keep and to finish the project.

Suitable for age 12+ and all under 18’s to be accompanied by an adult.

There will be a maximum of 6 in the class – why not treat yourself and a friend?

Tea, coffee and homemade cakes or scones are included in the cost of the workshop, which is based in my workshop, close to the shores of Strangford Lough.

Cost – £15 per person
