  • Yarn on a Budget: Upcycling Sweaters

    Unraveling knit sweaters can provide you with plenty of high-quality yarn (up to a mile!) at a very low cost, but not all sweaters are made equal. Learn how to choose the right sweater to unravel, de-seam a sweater (the hard part!), and unravel it (the fun part!).

  • Explore E-Spinning

    This hands-on workshop hosted by Yarn Adventure and the Foldout Cat will cover the basics of learning to spin on the Dreaming Robots Electric Eel Wheel 6.1.
