Tunisian crochet, also known as “Afghan Crochet”, is an old crochet style that has enjoyed a recent revival as a new technique in the knitting and crochet world, as more and more patterns and publications (mostly coming from America and Europe) are becoming available on the market.

This workshop is ideal for total beginners or those who can already crochet. In this workshop you will learn how to start your Tunisian crochet, the Tunisian Simple Stitch, Tunisian Knit Stitch, Tunisian Full Stitch, Tunisian Purl Stitch, Tunisian Reverse Stitch, increasing, decreasing, joining yarn/changing colours, and finishing off. You’ll use these skills to create a stitch sampler, which you can turn into a wall hanging.

Brioche knitting produces a very stretchy and reversible fabric that is also extremely thick and squishy due to the way it is worked. The name ‘Brioche Stitch’ came about in England in the 1800s.

In this improvers workshop you will learn a 2 colour cast on, Brioche Knit Stitch, Brioche Purl Stitch, and 2 colour cast off. We will turn your practice swatch into a lovely squishy mug hug. These are fabulous for stopping your hands burning while holding a scolding mug. You can get really creative with your colour choices and produce these as wonderful gifts for friends and family. Another idea is to knit them a little longer and turn them into headbands. Practicing your Brioche is a great way to use your stash, and still make something useful.

Introduction to 2 Colour Brioche Knitting

So glad to have found an online class for brioche knitting! Me and my knitting friend were keen to learn this technique and Tracey was a wonderful teacher and very patient with us. Her setup for the virtual class was excellent, with a camera for her as a person to talk to, and a separate phone camera pointed at her knitting so we could see exactly what needed to be done. She even showed us the individual stitches that go into making brioche in both English and continental style, which was an awesome bonus as between us we use both.

The course materials were great too - we didn't need them much in the class as Tracey explained everything very well, but they've been a great resource to refer back to and I've been happily brioching ever since.

Would definitely recommend and absolutely take future classes on new knitting techniques with Tracey!

Weaving has been around for centuries. We’ve come up with some fun looms for kids to use while learning to weave.

Keep away from young children. Your child’s safety is really important, so please make sure your child is supervised during all crafting activities.

This kids craft kit comes with a cardboard loom, pre-cut yarn, a plastic sewing needle, and picture tutorial. The weaving stays on the loom. Other kids have used their weaving to decorate birthday cards, as book marks, glued strip magnets on to create a fridge magnet, and some have framed them to hang on their bedroom wall. See what uses your kids can come up with.

The loom is appropriately 9.5cm x 16.5cm in size.

A random colour selection kit will be sent, however if you have a specific colour preference, contact us and we may be able to assist.

Colours and patterns may vary slightly due to the handmade nature of this product and will show differently on individual screens.
