Thrummed Mittens: Sunday, January 25: 1pm - 3pm
Join us for a fun afternoon playing with little bits of wool! Commonly known as thrums, these are pieces of wool roving that are worked into your knitting to create a warm, dense fabric. They can be knit into hats and slippers, but the most common use is in mittens. This is a project workshop where participants will work away at adding thrums to a pair of mittens.
What you’ll learn
Preparing wool roving to make thrums; adding thrums to knitted pieces
Required Skills
Before taking this workshop, you should know how to cast on and work in the round (on circular or double pointed needles) on small-circumference projects.
Before Class Homework
In order to make the most of this workshop, please purchase your yarn and knit a cuff as homework prior to the first class. There will not be time during the workshop to knit the cuff and also learn to thrum.
What to Bring
2 balls of Lettlopi wool are recommended for these mittens. Purchase of the yarn and knitting a cuff as homework prior to the first class is the responsibility of participants. You will choose the colour of roving you wish to use at the time of the workshop, and this is included in the class fee.

cancellation policy
Cancelled classes may be refunded to store credit if we receive notification 14 days in advance of the first class. If the cancellation is within two weeks of the start date of the first class, a refund to store credit will be issued only if we are able to fill the spot.
Very last minute cancellations (within 48 hours) are not eligible for refund in any form, as it does not allow us fair time to attempt to fill the spot.
We do not offer partial or full refund, in the form of store credit or alternate dates, for missed classes unless they are cancelled by the shop due to weather or similar calamity.
This policy is to let us keep prices as low as possible while ensuring that our instructors are fairly compensated for the time spent prepping and teaching their classes.
