There is no material fee for this workshop.

Student should bring:

 •Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in 2 contrasting colors, about 25g of each color. One color should be very light (white, cream, etc.)

•Needles (straights or circulars) in size 4 or 5 – or about 2 sizes smaller than you would typically use. (We need a smaller needle than typical for worsted yarn – double knitting gauge tends to be very loose.)

Students may also want to bring a battery operated task light, if needed.
