Class Description

Description

Just in time to make those holiday gifts, learn to knit a fabulous fun and funky scarf! All your friends and family will want one of these deceptively simple scarves that will fly off your needles! Plus, you get to add a personal touch by choosing black or white as your main color, and picking a hand-spun accent color to go with it. Each scarf will be unique!

This class is geared toward everyone, from absolute beginner knitters to the advanced and adventurous! While you may not completely finish your scarf during the class period, you will learn all the techniques that you need, and will have a good head-start on it.

Because of the hand-crafted nature of the yarn, your kit will differ from the scarves pictured. Your kit will include a skein of black or white yarn for the main color, and your choice of a hand-spun skein as the accent color.

Note: Materials are not included and must be purchased at The Yarn Company. No outside materials will be allowed in class.
School Notes: Please note: Materials must be purchased at The Yarn Company before class. All materials will be available there for purchase, and you may contact them directly to find out about cost.
