The Art of Sashiko:
Japanese Visible Mending
with Libby Fearnley of KEEP
3 hour workshop | $125.00
Saturday, 10/24 | 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Join us at for a three-hour introduction to sashiko, the traditional Japanese practice of stitching used to mend, reinforce, and give new life to cloth led by Libby Fearnley of KEEP, a Brooklyn-based mending studio (keepmending.com).
Rooted in generations of resourcefulness and care, sashiko is as beautiful as it is practical. Its rhythmic stitches and simple geometric patterns offer a thoughtful way to repair and preserve the textiles we live with.
Libby will share the traditions and techniques of sashiko through demonstration and guided, hands-on practice. Together, we'll explore how this humble form of handwork can bring new character and longevity to the things we already own.
All materials are provided, including sashiko needles, thread, adhesive templates, and a leather thimble.
Basic hand-sewing experience is required. No previous sashiko experience is necessary.
Class size: limited to 8

Sweater Workshop
Roomy Raglan Jr.
3 - 2 hr sessions | $135.00
10/22 Thursday 6:00 - 8:00 pm
11/05 Thursday 6:00 - 8:00 pm
11/24 Tuesday 6:00 - 8:00 p m
Ready to move beyond scarves and
hats and learn how a sweater actually comes together?
In this three-session intermediate beginner workshop, we’ll knit the Roomy Raglan Jr. by Jules Efterfield, the designer behind the wildly popular Roomy Raglan and a favorite among the KnitTok knitting community. Worked in bulky-weight yarn with surprisingly little yardage, this child-size version knits up quickly, making it a great way to learn sweater construction without the time
or yarn commitment of an adult-size garment.
Over three 2-hour sessions, you’ll learn how to read and follow a sweater pattern, work in the round, create raglan shaping and increases, work German short rows to shape the neckline, separate the body and sleeves, pick up stitches, and finish your sweater. By the time you’re finished, you’ll understand how a top-down raglan sweater comes together and have the skills and confidence to move on to an adult-size sweater, including the original Roomy Raglan.
Make it a stash-buster by combining leftover yarns and scraps for a one-of-a-kind sweater, or choose yarn for your project at w o o l . Yarn and supplies are not included in the class fee.
Skill Level: Intermediate Beginner
This class is designed as a first sweater class, but it is not a learn-to-knit class. Participants should already be comfortable with the basic knit and purl stitches before the first session.

Wild Botanicals: Stitching with Thread & Yarn
A Creative Embroidery Workshop with Nichole Vogelsinger
2 hour workshop | $95.00
Sunday 12/12 9:00-11:00 am
Explore the playful possibilities of embroidery in this expressive, hands-on workshop with fiber artist Nichole Vogelsinger.
Combining traditional embroidery stitches with chunky, textured, and novelty yarns, you'll create a vibrant, tactile botanical hoop inspired by the shapes and movement of nature. Through improvisational stitching, you'll learn to build organic stems, whimsical floral clusters, and lush, dimensional foliage, allowing your composition to evolve naturally as you work.
Rather than following a prescribed pattern, you'll be encouraged to experiment with color, texture, and unexpected combinations of materials. Nichole will guide you through techniques for layering threads and yarns, creating depth and movement, and developing your own distinctive botanical landscape.
This workshop is as much about the joy of making as it is about the finished piece. With an emphasis on curiosity, creative freedom, and personal expression, you'll discover how wonderfully liberating embroidery can be when there are no rules to follow.
No embroidery experience is necessary. All materials will be provided, and you'll leave with your own one-of-a-kind botanical embroidery hoop.
Class size: limited to 6

Along the way, we'll experiment with different weave structures and knotting techniques to build texture, create geometric shapes, and add sculptural dimension.
By the end of class, you'll complete a one-of-a-kind mini sampler tapestry to take home. All tools, equipment, and materials are included, featuring handspun yarn, hand-dyed roving, wool and mohair locks, eco-printed silk and wool gauze ribbon, linen paper yarn, and other specialty fibers. You're also welcome to bring any favorite yarns or fibers you'd like to incorporate into your piece.
