Learn the fundamentals of machine knitting in Manchester and make your own lambswool necktie in this beginner friendly workshop with Izzy from Coyle Studio. We'll cover all the necessary information to get you comfortable on the knitting machine, whether you’re learning a new craft or building on an existing one.
This session is perfect for all skill levels -- anyone looking to learn a new skill, refresh their knowledge or to just have a fun and creative day!
What to expect:
  • Setting up the machine and threading up with yarn.
  • Casting on, knitting a row and adding in colours.
  • Increasing and decreasing, making lace holes, ladders and casting off.
  • After a lunch break, you'll work on knitting your necktie!
  • Enjoy a small group of no more than 5, ensuring everyone receives helpful guidance.
  • Practice, experiment and revisit steps while troubleshooting any issues.
By the end of the workshop you will have built a portfolio of samples showcasing the skills you have learnt, a finished necktie ready to wear and the foundations of machine knitting to build on further.
