AN INTRODUCTION TO FELTING
One 1.5-hour Session                 
Cost: $55 (materials included)
Date & Time: Wednesday, February 12/25 from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm
Teacher: Deb
 
This is so exciting! A felting class at London Yarns! Please join Deb to be introduced to felting - hands on!
 
Students will be learning and practising their new hobby by needle felting a heart shaped sculpture using a cookie cutter, how cute! A magnet (or pin) can be attached to the back for display. Hearts seemed an appropriate choice with Valentine's Day right around the corner!  Deb expects that with the materials supplied, each student will be able to complete 2 hearts in class and there will be enough supplies left over to make more at home after class. These hearts can also be decorated by covering them with a felting surface technique that will also be demonstrated to the class.

 

Deb will also share with the students her experiences with "painting" with wool, and both 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional projects. Equipment and most importantly, safety, will also be discussed. Deb is a big fan of several well made YouTube instructional videos and she will share those tutorials as well.
 
Although the hands-on part of this class involves needle felting, Deb will also talk about wet felting. She will bring samples with her, talk about resources and different fibres, and of course, be available for questions from the students
Have fun everyone!
 
Rated: All Beginners
Pre-Requisite: None
 
Includes – 50 grams of Briggs & Little Uncarded Wool, 1 ball of Wool Roving from The General Bean, Felting Foam Board, and 1 package of Felting Needles

 

MITTEN MAGIC
Three 1.5-hour Sessions                       
Cost: $125 (includes pattern; yarn to be purchased separately)
Dates & Times
Session 1: Saturday, March 22/25 from 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Session 2: Saturday, March 29/25 from 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Session 3: Saturday, April 5/25 from 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Teachers: Judy & Cheryl
 
Please join Judy & Cheryl to learn all of the techniques needed to knit a pair of these fabulous mittens! Feel free to enjoy wearing them yourself or gift them to someone special.
 
As shown in the photo below, these mittens consist of 2 layers; the outside of the mitten (left) is knit using a single strand of fingering weight yarn and the extra cozy, warm inside layer (right) is knit holding a strand of fingering weight yarn along with a strand of lace weight mohair.
 

Students will be knitting in the round on double pointed needles and learn a special type of cast on, a Provisional Cast-On where your stitches remain “live” so that you can collect them later to knit in the other direction without a seam! After choosing and knitting your style of cuff from the 3 options, you will then learn to knit a beautifully shaped gusset for the thumb that fits the natural shape of our palm. Talk about comfortable! The body of the mitten will then be worked and topped off with your choice of finishes for the tip of the mitten. With the inner layer complete, students will then be guided on collecting the live stitches (that have been waiting for you), from that special cast on edge, so you can seamlessly work the outer layer of your mitten! Ingenious!
 
Rated: All Knitters
Pre-Requisite: Knowledge of knit stitch; beneficial to know how to work in the round.
Includes“Mitten Magic” pattern [DP-158]
RequiredStudents will purchase separately their choice of Fingering weight yarn (100g) or Sock yarn (100g) and Lace weight Mohair (25g) from London Yarns. There are many options available.

HELP SESSIONS for the BERROCO BLANKET MKAL
One 1.5-hour Session
Cost: $30 per session

Date & Time: Saturday, February 22/25 from 11:00 am - 12:30 pm; and the 3rd Saturday of each month thereafter.
Teachers: Judy & Cheryl
 
Leave it to the innovative minds at Berroco to come up with a wonderful project that will take us all through 2025 from January to December! For those of you who are not familiar with Mystery Knit-A-Longs (MKALs), they are projects that are, of course, a mystery! Sometimes, you have no clue what the end result will be, but usually you will know what the finished item will be but just not the details of pattern, stitches or construction.
 
Berroco announced that they were offering a year-long Blanket MKAL. Participants will all be making a blanket consisting of squares using many different construction techniques and stitch patterns The skill set for these squares will start off on the easier side and as the year progresses, participants will build more advanced skills. The perfect way to learn new stitches and techniques and an entire year to do it!

Cheryl & Judy are taking this MKAL to the next level and are offering monthly help sessions to guide you through the project and support you when you need it.
 
Please join Cheryl & Judy each month after the new square (or squares) are released and master all the techniques needed to create and complete each square. Cheryl & Judy are also both participating in the MKAL themselves, so it will be lots of fun seeing everyone’s different colour choices and progress each month.

These monthly workshops will be advertised each month along with the exact date, and you may sign up for however many sessions you would like to attend. No need to commit to the entire year, simply pick and choose when you would like to come. Be sure to register as soon as possible each month, as space is limited.

If you have not ordered, received or committed to one of these lovely kits yet, there is still time, as we can join the MKAL at any time during 2025.
 
Full details about the Blanket MKAL can be found on our website.

Remember, you can also choose your very own colours if you have a special theme in mind.
