Would you like a cozy hand-knitted scarf to protect yourself from the Melbourne Winter?
How about a super chunky one you made yourself using this cool technique called ARM KNITTING.
That’s right, no complicated needle knitting, but a playful way of knitting with your arms only.
Come and experience the joy of this fun craft using just your arms and beautiful thick wool!
A perfect workshop for complete knitting beginners or people who love to knit but are keen to learn a cool new knitting technique!
Please note: it usually takes 2-3 hours to finish off a complete scarf. This class is structured for you to practice and familiarise yourself with the technique. You will finish off the scarf in your own space after class.
