Learn how to arm knit yourself a super cozy blanket this winter! Our popular winter workshop is back! Arm knitting with arms and without needles! This is the simplest and most satisfying form of giant knitting (or to some known as extreme knitting) you will get. With the scrummiest super sized yarn and just a few hours you will go home proud as punch with your blanket!
Giant knitting is a knitting technique using super jumbo giant yarn to create high quality pieces, ideal for making large scarves or snoods, blankets, cushions and even carpets! And we love teaching spreading the love of giant arm knitting too!
Top Tip:
The roving can shed so wearing short sleeve clothing if possible is helpful, or lighter colours so its not too visible afterwards. We also suggest bringing a large carrier bag with you to take your blanket home in.
Complete and total beginners - ANYONE can arm knit
Duration:
Approx 2 hours
Do I Need to Bring Anything:
No all the giant yarn you need to knit your blanket (2kg) is included in the price.
What is the Size of the Blanket:
Its approx 75 cm x 125 cm (30 x 50 inches) Please note sizes are approximate and it will depend on your knitting on the night but you won't be far off the dimensions listed above.

Two classes in one! It’s not school and we know you’re here for fun, so even when we’re talking baffling-sounding terms like “K2tog”, “psso” and “yf” the aim is still to teach you the lingo in a chilled environment. You’ll then move onto cable stitching for the last part of the class.
So if you still read ‘M1’ and think of the morning rush hour, this is the perfect opportunity to learn to follow knitting patterns yourself. Once you’ve mastered the basics of cable stitch, pattern reading and how to choose yarn and needles, the possibilities are endless!
All levels
