Knit Repair Clinic: Duplicate Stitch Darning, with Elysha of Worth Mending – April 21, 7:00

The Knit Repair Clinic is designed to build your confidence as a beginner or novice mender. The first hour is for skill-building. During the second hour, we apply those skills and troubleshoot the garment(s) you brought to repair. If time permits, we may go into more advanced detail on the topic, or veer into other techniques that are of interest to the group.

Each of the three classes in this series covers one mending skill. Join us for one, two, or all three!

This class is dedicated to the duplicate stitch darn: learn the techniques, when to use it, and how to make your darning neat and strong. Duplicate stitch darning, as in the name, replicates the stitches of your knit garment and can therefore be completely invisible when paired with a well-matched yarn. Bring your worn socks, sweaters, hoodies, scarves, mittens, hats, or even blankets, and tap into the everyday magic of mending.

Skills needed: Previous darning experience is required, either one of our two other sessions or having completed similar darns on your own. This method in particular requires precision, so be prepared with glasses or a magnifying lens if that helps your eyesight.

Bring: your knit garment(s) in need of mending (or one you want to practice on), plus matching yarn if desired. We will have a range of yarn available but might not have a perfect match for you, if a match is what you're after.
