On Saturday, November 28, we invite you to a workshop exploring Nordic knitting and its history. Instructor Vibeke Munk will introduce you to knitting traditions from Iceland and the Faroe Islands, among others, and give you an insight into patterns, colour theory, wool and tension swatches.

During the workshop, we will work on a sweater featuring a Nordic pattern. The pattern, coffee and tea are included in the price.

The workshop runs from 10 am to 3 pm, with a break from 12 noon to 1 pm. During the break, you’ll have the opportunity to order lunch and drinks if you wish.
