Demo Information

Jodi Tarney will be demonstrating Hairpin lace! Hairpin lace is a beautiful variation on crochet, in which you combine a standard crochet hook with a simple small loom to create lacy, openwork designs. Once you've seen hairpin lace, you will always immediately recognize it, because it has a very unique appearance that never fails to catch the eye!

Alison Rose will be providing our annual Spinning demo so you'll be able to check in on how yarn is made, learn about the fibres that go into yarn, and ask anything you've ever wanted to know about spinning!

Demo Information

Katherine Bonham
will be doing her annual rigid heddle loom weaving demo and I bet you'll be so enchanted with this approachable and oh so fun way to get into weaving you'll want to book a class with her!

Kim Whitley will be back with her enthralling CSM/circular sock machine demo and it's a fascinating look at the history of machine sock making and may just get you to get into it yourself (what a great way to stash bust!).
