On-line Class - Beginning Knitting

Supply List
Yarn
  • Worsted Weight yarn
    We like Plymouths' Encore for beginners. It comes in many pretty colors and is an acrylic, wool blend yarn, perfect for easy wash and wear items.

    Knitting Tools

  • Knitting needles - Size to fit your yarn
    For worsted weight yarn use a size 8 needle
    We also recommend circular needles instead of straight. We find these are much more comfortable to knit with because the needle is the length of your hand. Straight needles travel down the length of your arm and as a result force you to move your shoulders up and down with the movement of your hands when knitting. This doesn't happen when using circular needles.
  • Ruler or tape measure
  • Small Scissors
