Wednesday, May 27th, 2026
5:30 - 8:30pm
Curious to learn how to repair your knit clothing, but are unsure how or where to begin? Darning worn out socks is an excellent place to start! It’s a low-stakes way to learn and practice new repair techniques while exploring your creative style. The hand-stitching methods covered in this class can be used to mend holes and thin areas in any knitwear, not JUST socks. So grab a well-worn pair of (clean) socks and let’s fix ‘em, darn it!
