Visible Mending
About Visible Mending
Have you ever found holes in your knitting? Don’t throw your knitting out – darn it with visible mending!! Darning is a valuable skill (and not just for knits.) Darning can seamlessly mask a hole, or it can take center stage and decorate your knit fabric. We'll begin with the essential step: learning to stabilize the fabric before darning. Then we'll learn a woven darn with decorative colors, as well as some embroidery stitches to pretty things up! If we have time we'll cover a second darning method.
What will students learn:
Weaving darn, some embroidery techniques, tips and tricks for mending.
