Socko brings you a workshop to teach knitters and sewists a technique that can be used to personalise or repair your knitwear.
During this 2.5 hour workshop, Socko founder Emma will start by explaining what a duplicate stitch is, where it can be used and pass around examples. We'll then get hands-on, working on the rhythm of the stitch before applying it to repair dropped stitches.
The main task will be to select a letter and yarn to monogram a swatch of your own. Groups are kept small so you will have plenty of one-to-one time. You will take home the swatches you have worked on, handouts to refer back to and a needle and needle threader.
The whole session will be fuelled by the obligatory bottomless tea and biscuits.
Socko is on a darning mission: This is because the most sustainable clothes are the ones we already own. If we can extend the lives of the things we own and embrace a more conscious consumer mindset, we will have a positive effect on people and our planet. Not to mention that darning is highly therapeutic, rewarding and is a commitment of care that brings us closer to our possessions.
What you'll get
  • All materials and tools to make a monogrammed swatch to take home with you.
  • Bottomless tea/coffee and biscuits.
  • 20% discount in the Radical Giving store full of amazing wellness and homeware goods.
  • Receive 10% off the incredible cafe/restaurant Squisito that is situated next to our store.
Knowledge required
We recommend booking into this workshop if you are already experienced with sewing and darning.
What to bring
Please just bring your lovely selves. :)
