Learn to Crochet or Knit this year with the girls from Tangled Yarns!

The lovely girls at Tangled Yarns have been busy getting ready for their 2013 class schedule and with many of the January classes already filled, bookings for February and March are coming in thick and fast so don't miss out.

Cost $75.00 per person (3 week course)  plus supplies (available to purchase in store) Requirements Please note that this is an beginners course. No prior experience is necessary Supplies 100g of DK / 8ply or 100g of Worsted / 10ply cotton yarn (smooth, no novelty as you need to see your stitches) 4.00mm or 4.5mm hook (depending on your selected yarn and your gauge) wool darning needle scissors Learn to Knit Socks Now is the time to start knitting your very first pair of socks to keep your toes toasty this winter! During three classes you will learn how to knit a pair of beautiful socks from Derrin's Learn to Knits Socks pattern. Cost $75.00 per person (3 week course) plus supplies (available to purchase in store) Requirements Please note that this is an intermediate course. Prior knowledge of how to knit in the round comfortably is required. (Double Point Needles, Magic Loop or Two Circular methods) Supplies 100g of fingering weight / 4ply yarn (smooth, no novelty as you need to see your stitches) 2.50mm or 2.75mm needles (dpn, magic loop or two circulars) (depending on your selected yarn and your gauge) wool darning needle scissors Continental Knitting Our Continental Knitting classes are aimed at students who already know how to knit the English method (with the yarn held in the right hand) and would like to learn how to knit the Continental method (with the yarn held in the left hand). Most knitters find that with practice this speeds up their knitting time greatly, especially for long stretches of stockinette stitch or for moss / ribbing. During the two classes you will learn one method of the knit stitch and two different methods of the purl stitch plus how to combine the two. Cost $50.00 per person (2 week course) plus supplies (available to purchase in store) Crochet / Felted Hexagons Sunday 13th January 12noon - 2pm Saturday 19th January 1pm - 3pm One of my favourite little gifts is adapted from Lucy's How-To Hexagon motif - sweet little felted coasters from our Noro Kureyon. One ball yields between five and six coasters, depending on your gauge - making a perfect set to give. (although they are so useful, you might need to make a few for yourself too!) This class will help you to master the hexagon motif and to take the mystery out of felted objects. Please note, you need to have basic crochet skills to attend this course. Class Cost $45 per person plus supplies (includes one ball of Noro Kureyon) Requirements 5.00mm crochet hook darning needle Entrelac Saturday 12th January 1pm - 3pm Sunday 20th January 12noon - 2pm Thursday 31st January 6pm - 8pm When Derrin was working on this beautiful Entrelac Blanket last year it caused a great deal of buzz...and how could it not! It is simply stunning!! Entrelac, like many knitting techniques looks much trickier than it actually is. During this two hour class you will learn how to knit Entrelac and find out all the tips, hints and tricks. You will create a small sampler piece that you can turn into a cushion cover, a small pouch (perhaps for an iPad) or continue knitting to make a wonderful scarf. (Depending on the number of stitches you cast on) Please note, you need to have basic knitting skills to attend this course. Class cost $30 per person plus supplies Requirements Our Noro yarns were just made for Entrelac... You will need to select your needle size according to the weight of Noro you choose We have also added two Learn to Knit Socks courses to the calendar - one series of Cuff Down and one series of Toe Up plus Anita's fantastic Continental Knitting course!
