Talk and Trunk Show: Sustainability in Production with Jonny King

We talk a lot about sustainability and the environmental impacts of yarn production. But what does this 'sustainability' mean, what does it entail when coming to creating our much loved strands of joy, and how can we as consumers make sure our yarns are good for the planet?

Join us for the day with Jonny King of Garthenor Organic, who will visit our shop holding a talk about all the wonders of Garthenor and how they are breaking ground as a sustainable yarn producer. There is of course time to answer all the questions you might have, and we have a wonderful selection of designs and yarns for you to squish and fondle. Beverages and light snacks at hand.

Since joining Garthenor Organic in 2017, Jonny has advocated sustainable, transparent production through strong relationships with farmers, mills and dyehouses, striving for growth in the UK organic textile industry. With a background in design, he has overseen the transformation to a modern, innovative brand at the forefront of the sustainable yarn movement.

Garthenor's mission is simple: to make only 100% certified organic yarn without compromise, ever. Totally traceable, completely climate positive and outstandingly organic. They were the first company in the world to make yarn that was certified organic from sheep to shelf, and they’ve never stopped being planet-loving trailblazers.

When: Saturday February 11th 2023, Talk – 13:00pm Trunk Show - 14:00-17:00pm

Fee: £3

Workshop: The Art of Darning

In a world that is facing a lot of environmental problems, there seem to be a lot of solutions in the way we did things in the past. When it comes to fashion, the most sustainable thing that you can do is to wear your clothes for longer. Emma Mathews from Socko have developed a robust workshop and is here to equip you with the skills to mend with pride. Socko brings you a workshop to teach complete beginners the lost art of darning.

During this 2 1/2 hour workshop, we'll start with a brief history of techniques from different cultures and look at examples and tools. The majority of the time will then be practical as Socko founder Emma teaches you how to darn your own clothing. You're welcome to bring items of your own that need mending or there'll be plenty of fabric there to practise on.

As with all our workshops, there will be snacks, beverages and bottomless tea available, and there is 10% off on purchases made in the shop on the day.

When: Tuesday March 14th 2023, 18:30pm – 21:00pm

Learn How to Crochet Virtual Course

iKnit7 with Friends – Starter Series with Aoibhe Ní : Zero to Crochet

One of the most important things we do as yarns shops is we teach. We introduce people to the wonderful world of wool! Nothing beats the expression on the face of someone where it just 'clicked', they solved the code, they get it! Isolation and social distancing prevents us from doing our usual Learn How to Crochet Workshops for the foreseeable future. It is something we all miss and a challenge that has been thoroughly discussed between my friends and myself at iKnit7, how can we offer the best tutoring possible for beginner crocheters without physically bringing them into the shops?

Together with renowned designer Aoibhe Ní and online tutor extraordinaire Carol Feller, we have developed an online course specifically with the beginner crocheter in mind.

Best of it all, everything comes neatly wrapped up in one package with materials included, you can work through the whole course in your own pace, in the safety of your home.

Zero to Crochet is a power-packed workshop series that takes you by the hand from utter crochet novice right the way through to completing three projects.
