Two Session Adult Knitting Program: Felted PurseWednesday, January 27, 6:30 PM & Wednesday, February 24, 6:30 PM
San Ramon Library, 100 Montgomery Street, San Ramon CA 94583
Join us at this fun two session adult knitting workshop for first timers and beginners. Learn the fundamentals of knitting in the first session, and then bring your completed pieces to the second session where you will learn how to seam them up, embellish, and felt them!
Bring Your Own Supplies:
-Approximately 400 yards of worsted weight yarn. (Can also use 200 yards each of 2 different colors.)
MUST BE 100% WOOL IN ORDER TO FELT.
Most feltable yarns will say they are feltable on the label.
Suggested yarns:
-Cascade 220
-Lion Wool
-Patons Classic Wool
-Noro “Kureyon”
-1 pair US Size 9 straight knitting needles, any material.
-Darning needle
-Measuring Tape
Here is a picture of my sample. I used four skeins of Wisdom Yarn's "Poems" in color 576. This yarn is VERY similar to Noro "Kureyon." It gives a similar coloration effect, still felts nicely, and was actually softer on my hands. I am also working on the second sample that will use two different colors, a sample that I won't felt till after the first session, and an additional sample to show how to customization options at the second session.

Hi Megan,
I want to take your class (the one that starts this week) but I'm not sure where the best place is to buy the materials. I went to Michael's in Dublin but was confused by the huge amounts of wool they had. Also, there was a shortage of size 9 knitting needles. Any advice?

Daryl-
I've emailed you some suggestions.
Anyone else interested in attending-
The yarn shops listed under enablers to the right should all have appropriate materials. Most craft stores will as well, although they will have a much smaller selection.
