Thrill of the Thrum. Sunday, November 16, 2-4pm

Sunday November 16th, 2-4pm

Michele Lee Bernstein (PDX Knitterati)

What’s a thrum? A bit of fiber worked into your knitting for extra warmth and cushiness. This technique has been used to make super-warm mittens in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, for hundreds of years. They know cold! In this very fun two-hour class, Michele will teach you how  to make thrums with wool roving, and how to work them into your knitting as you create a cozy pair of her Thrumbelina Slippers.

Supplies you’ll need. 200 yards worsted weight yarn (not superwash), 2 ounces of wool roving, US 6 (4mm) straight or circular needles, Thrumbelina Slippers pattern (available for purchase on Ravelry; discount code included in class handout).

*This is an in-person class, held at For Yarns Sake. Once enrolled, you'll receive an email with the class handout and discount code for your pattern. $55, plus supplies
