Darn Pretty
Darn Pretty
Have you ever thought of darning as art? Beautify your mending while extending the usefulness of socks and other garments. Prepare to be inspired as we learn to incorporate colors, patterns, and more to create an intimate objet d’art. We start with simple darning to learn the steps, then venture into stripes, plaids, and twills. Then we learn other techniques such as scotch darning, swiss darning, and various blanket stitch mends, and discuss when (and why) you might use each one.
Materials:
Bring odds and ends of leftover yarns of various weights along with embroidery or sashiko threads, including some lace weight mohair/silk if you have any available. If you don't have threads, don't worry. There will be some available to use in class.
Brings socks, T-shirts, or other garments that have holes or frayed areas, OR a stockinette stitch swatch that you don't mind snipping into :). If you will be mending socks, bring a darning egg or mushroom, or a small apple or orange will do in a pinch. If you will be mending fabric, bring scraps of fabric (Neither of the above are necessary to bring if you will be practicing on a knitted swatch)
Tapestry needles, small and large, for knitted mends
Sashiko or #20 Chenille needles for fabric mends
