4 hours Class size 1 on 1       £150 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Would you like to learn how to use a knitting machine and make your own knitwear or textile art? Over a 4-hour one-to-one lesson, I will teach you the basics and advise on the various knitting machines that are available to buy. You’ll leave with a variety of swatches, full instructions, and a full brain ready to start your machine knitting journey!
Alternatively, if you already have some machine knitting experience and are looking to improve your skills, I can tailor a workshop to suit your needs, covering anything from pattern cutting to punch card pattern design.
I generally teach on Brother machines but am also adept at teaching on Knitmasters. I have both brands of machine in the studio, and you are more than welcome to bring your machine to the studio to use during the workshop.
What you'll get
  • You'll leave with plenty of swatches and ideas to continue your machine knitting journey.
  • All yarns and printed handouts are provided.
Knowledge required
Beginners to advanced skills welcome - the session will be tailored to your needs.
What to bring
If you have a knitting machine, you are welcome to bring it! I have plenty in the studio to use if not.
