Unlike woven fabrics, knits require a different kind of attention: they stretch, flex, and unravel in ways that make repair both delicate and deeply satisfying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the perfect summer class to prepare your cold-weather gear for when it’s time. That sweater you promised to fix this summer? Now’s your chance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ll focus on stabilizing, reinforcing, and rebuilding holes in knit garments like sweaters, socks, scarves, and beanies. You’ll learn darning tools and techniques that create a flexible woven patch atop stretchy material—either hidden or decorative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ll provide yarn, darning eggs, and needles but feel free to bring your favorite tools from home. And as always, if you bring your own materials, we’ll thank you with a little something extra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2-hour classes are 68.00. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePreferred Prerequisite Skills\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis two-hour class focuses on the hand-sewing elements that make darning unique. To make the most of our time together, we won’t be covering the absolute basics of hand sewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not an advanced class. It just shouldn’t be the first time you’ve picked up a needle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf threading, tying knots, or simple stitches still feel uncertain, we recommend starting with our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.approved-textiles.com\/collections\/practical-hand-stitching-basics\"\u003ePractical Hand Stitching Basics\u003c\/a\u003e class first—then returning to darning with full confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Darning, we’ll guide you through a project that’s both achievable and rewarding. You’ll leave with a finished (or mostly completed) darn, a deeper understanding of darning, and the reassurance that even experienced hands are always learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClass Exchange Policy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re happy to move your booking to a different date for the same class, as long as we hear from you more than 48 hours before class begins.
