Have you ever wanted to try felting your knitting, but you’ve been intimidated to try? This class will guide you through the process of intentionally shrinking your work to create a densely felted, structured basket or purse as well as sharing options to customize it and make it your own. The first class will focus on creating an oversized knitted fabric that you will shrink and shape to your will. The second class will focus on assembly and decorative details. Do you want to add handles? Do you want to embellish with embroidery or needle felting?

The kit fee will depend on your chosen embellishments, or you can source supplies on your own after the first class.
