Blanket Arm Knitting Workshop

Knit a cosy blanket using giant yarn at this arm knitting class in London.



2 hours

Class size 1 to 15 (public classes), 4 to 20
  £70
Come join us for a cosy session of arm knitting your very own blanket! No need for needles or experience, just your arms and some chunky yarn. This in-person event is perfect for beginners and crafting enthusiasts alike. Bring your friends along and enjoy a fun and relaxing time creating something warm and beautiful.
We'll be knitting with Woolly Mahoosive's acrylic Mahoosive yarn (which is vegan-friendly), so big you use your arms as needles! 2kgs of yarn is included in the price of the workshop, which should give you a blanket 75 x 125cm.
Four colours will be available to choose from: mustard yellow, lilac, light teal or peacock green. If none of them are to your taste, let us know as there are other options - we may be able to order something you'd prefer.
We’re also flexible with timings – if the listed slots don’t quite work for you, please don’t be shy about asking for another date or time. Just let us know whether you’d like a private booking, or if you’d prefer us to open up a new time slot for others to join too.
Please note: Yarn will be purchased in advance, so we maintain a no refund within 72-hour cancellation policy.

Recent reviews of Blanket Arm Knitting Workshop

  • 5/5 from Ben Tilbury, attended Apr 2026: Absolutely fantastic time. Our teacher Emily made us feel very welcome and guided us through the process expertly. Highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Jean McPherson, attended Feb 2026: Wonderful morning with Emily arm-knitting and nattering! Good vibes @ Something Good. Thank you very much!
  • 5/5 from Ella Burke, attended Aug 2025: Second time I've done a class and I have absolutely loved both! Very patient teacher, lovely atmosphere and lots of fun. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Vanessa Gerhardt, attended Aug 2025: I surprised my mum (who doesn’t speak English) with this arm knitting workshop on a Sunday morning, and we both had a lovely time. Emily was super nice and friendly, and made sure everyone felt included. Even though my mum can’t understand the language, Emily’s clear demonstrations made it easy for her to follow along, and she ended up making a beautiful bed runner! The space was welcoming, perfect for a relaxed, creative morning. It was such a special experience to share together. I’d definitely recommend this workshop, even if you’ve never knitted before (like me!)!
  • 5/5 from Elizabeth Hopkins, attended Apr 2025: Fantastic class. Lovely teacher who was super friendly and gave clear, easy to follow instructions.
  • 5/5 from Naomi Benjamin, attended Mar 2025: I had a fabulous time learning how to arm knit with Emily! She was very patient and I ended up with the loveliest chucnkiest knitted blanket!
  • 5/5 from Nicola Vidi Morrell, attended Feb 2025: Wow - What a great workshop! I signed up for arm knitting with a friend. We had so much fun and met lovely people. Emily and Jess led the session and made the whole activity super enjoyable. They kept a watchful eye on our knitting process so that we were sure to walk away proudly with our newly made beautiful chunky wool blankets. We were crafting in a smaller room within The Mitre Pub, Greenwich which was a perfect cosy place to hold this event. A free drink was included in our ticket price and we were able to carry on chatting afterwards in the bar area. This activity would be great for meeting new people, a date, friends, groups, team building and families. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
  • 5/5 from Sam Brown, attended Feb 2025: fantastic evening with lovely people and great teachers. Perfect venue with top quality materials. came away with beautiful chunky blanket.

Hi, we’re Emily and Jess, the creative minds behind Something Good Workshops!
Our journey began in 2019 when Emily launched Something Good Workshops (originally known as MADEptford) as a way to spread crafty joy and raise funds for running the London Marathon. What started as a one-time idea quickly grew into a passion for bringing people together through creativity. Since then, we’ve hosted a wide variety of workshops, from arm knitting to body casting, in all kinds of spaces - corporate offices, cosy pubs, pop-up shops, and even people’s homes.
After taking a short break, we’re back with fresh energy and an exciting new partnership. Jess has joined the team, and together, we’re on a mission to spark joy and empower people to explore their creativity in relaxing, welcoming spaces. We believe there’s something magical about slowing down, working with your hands, and leaving with something you’ve made yourself - whether it’s a chunky knit blanket, a personal shrine, or a collage bursting with personality.
What makes us unique? We’re all about creating an environment where people feel at ease, whether they’re a total beginner or a seasoned maker. Over the years, we’ve held workshops in so many different settings, and one thing always stands out: the joy people feel when they realize just how creative they can be.
We’re not just here to teach a craft - we’re here to help you unwind, have fun, and leave with a tangible reminder that you’re capable of making something good.
We can’t wait to meet you at a workshop soon!
