Make a Nålbinded Mug Cozy IN PERSON

February 21 @ 6:00 pm - February 28 @ 8:00 pm

Nålbinding is the craft of making a textile from loops of yarn. You will be making a mug cozy using Nålbinding techniques.

Nålbinding is a fabric creation technique predating both knitting and crochet. Also known in English as “knotless netting”, “knotless knitting”, or “single-needle knitting”, the technique is distinct from crochet in that it involves passing the full length of the working thread through each loop, unlike crochet where the work is formed only of loops, never involving the free end. It also differs from knitting in that lengths must be pieced together during the process of nålebinding, rather than a continuous strand of yarn that can easily be pulled out.

Taught by Textile Artist John Hitchner, you will be making a mug cozy using the oslo stitch.

Two Sessions from 6:00pm-8:00pm, Feburary 21 and 28th, 2024

If we are not notified and you are more than 15 minutes late, you may not be permitted to join the class. Our classes are only 2 hours long and it is difficult to catch up students when they are late.

The Tacony LAB’s classes are unique in Philadelphia: we do not charge tuition or any sort of fees for any of our classes.

Our classes are popular and often have wait-lists. If you enroll in a class, please commit to attending it!
