Description
In this two-part class, students will learn how to cast on, work in-the-round AND flat, increase, decrease, turning heels, kitchener stitch, and best practices for felting in the washer. These are great for beginners and very forgiving, as most visible mistakes disappear in the felting, plus they are easily customizable as they are a plain canvas.
About Us
Stranded by the Sea is a Local Yarn Store located in the Edmonds Waterfront district offering natural yarn and supplies for knitting, crochet, spinning, felting, and other fiber arts, emphasizing sustainable and artisan quality materials, social knitting and spinning, and education.
Our focus is on the use of natural fibers and wool, and avoiding synthetics and chemically-treated wool. Doing our small part to preserve the oceans.
We believe in promoting natural fibers and wool, and avoiding synthetic, acrylic, and chemically-treated fibers, both for ecological and artisan purposes. We strive to educate consumers about preserving and protecting the waterways and marine life from synthetic fibers and their manufacture, both globally and here in the Puget Sound and Salish Sea, and about the many benefits of natural wool - doing our part to preserve the oceans.
Our classes, workshops, and social activities include knitting, crochet, spinning, and felting from beginner to more advanced skills, from kids to adults. We have weekly fiber social groups, group classes, knit-along projects, and special skills classes, including fair isle techniques, double knitting, lace work, socks, and more. Check our calendar.
We have our own line of custom made stitch markers, sock blockers, and mitten blockers, as well as own line of hand-dyed yarns and spinning fibers, including Angora fiber from our own “fluffle” of English Angora rabbits. We usually have at least one of our bunny mascots visiting in the shop – Feel free to stop by for a snuggle!
