Park Williams presents: Scraps & Stash: let’s play with our scraps and stash yarn in all new ways! 

Different dye-lots, who cares! Different fiber make-ups, no problem! Let’s use up the random scraps we have! Let’s buy the random skein that calls to us! Knitting should be FUN! In this lecture, we will learn the simple, but liberating technique of holding together strands of scrap and stash yarn in all different weights, fibers, and colors to turn simple knitted items into something entirely our own. You will leave the lecture looking at yarn and your stash with fresh eyes and feeling more emboldened to let your creativity lead.

Materials:  

(The materials are optional— people can choose to knit along during the presentation or just watch)

To knit along during the workshop, they’ll need:

• One set of needles: US 10, 10.5, OR 11s (can be straight or circular, any length)  
• Scraps and stash yarn they already have on hand in various weights ranging from lace-weight to bulky weight (already wound into balls or cakes)
• Scissors or snips

Homework:  none!
