EmailIn this private, one on one experience you'll learn to machine knit with textile designer, Ria Burns. It's the opportunity to have a completely personalised experience with Ria, and whether you're a beginner or someone with machine experience looking to learn more, anyone is welcome.
Using a Brother knitting machine, Ria will take you through the techniques and textures that you can create. Once you've got to grips with the machine you will create a library of swatches to take home with you, along with lots of ideas and inspiration to continue your machine knitting journey!
Ria will provide all the yarn you need and a knitting machine too, but they're also happy to help you get to grips with your own machine if you'd like to bring it.
