Whether you're a complete beginner and want to learn how to make colourful and practical presents for friends and family, or if you already know your double crochets from your double-trebles, and wish to move onto delicate fine work and read more advanced patterns, we're sure to have a course for you.
You will learn how to set up and preparing the loom for weaving - its all about tension - the good kind!
Ann will demonstrate of a variety of stitches and explore the rich variety of patterns that can be used. In this one day Workshop participants will learn to set up, the importance of tension, a variety of stitches and be able to experiment with a variety of materials to create colourful pieces with different textures that will enrich and brighten up any crochet project.
