Learn to repair your knitwear and clothing with confidence in this relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop focused on learning darning.

We’ll cover practical mending techniques including traditional darning, scotch darning, and honeycomb darning. These simple but powerful skills are ideal for fixing holes in socks, jumpers, cardigans, or any well-loved garment — while embracing the character of your repairs.

This workshop is part of a two-part mending series. Attend both to build your skills from hand sewing to darning.
