Upcycle in Style - Fix your knits and woollens in Newport
Do you have moth holes in your favourite wool scarf? Or worn out elbows on your cozy knit jumper? In this workshop you'll learn to mend and embellish your pre-loved woolly pieces in a fun and creative environment.
Mending is a great life skill that saves you money, and reduces your environmental footprint.

- How to add colour to your woollens for a visible repair
- Mending basics

- Different types of darning
- The art of needle felting.
The workshop is suitable for both beginners and more experienced menders.
What to bring
- Your woollens that have stains, rips or holes that need repairing
- Fabric, thread or embellishments you may like to add
- And most importantly, bring your imagination and enthusiasm!
