SHOP CASHMERE WOOL KIT
Knitting /crochet workshop with 100% Italian cashmere
For the beginner knitter/ crocheter (or if you just want to come; we'd love to have you!) Macarena and I have an initial 2 workshop days planned on Friday 21st May and Saturday 29th May.
These classes are the chance to create something beautiful with your hands, join us for a fun day of learning to knit, crochet or skill revision. Our expert teacher will guide you to create a luxurious cashmere scarf using handmade, Tasmanian Oak needles. Enjoy the art of slowing down, remembering the old ways, sit down with us with homemade cake and lunch whilst knitting or crocheting.
I will prepare a delicious lunch of finger sandwiches, cake, biscuits and slices plus all the tea and coffee you desire.
As a special incentive everything you buy from my studio on the day of your class only will have a 10% discount applied. For those of you who know me this is a very rare opportunity as my prices are relatively very good. Compile a wish list especially from my cashmere website.
Maximum 6 students on each day. Limited numbers are to ensure your health and wellbeing, to comply with social distancing requirements and to ensure that you are able to get adequate attention. Book early to avoid disappointment!

KITS
Each kit will come in my beautiful Scottish Cashmere Australia presentation boxes. So that you can take your project with you everywhere in the kit I will include my linen drawstring bags made especially for me by Linen Works London. The knitting and crochet needles have been hand crafted especially for me in Tasmania in Tasmanian Oak by the lovely Mary-Jane from Art Viva Tasmania. The cashmere yarn is the most exquisite Italian cashmere.
Your knitting / crocheting presentation box includes:
- Patterns to create a scarf in both knitted and crochet form.
- Your choice of knitting needles or a crochet hook handcrafted in Tasmanian Oak monogrammed with Scottish Cashmere Australia ( I'm quite chuffed about this bit!)
- Linen Works London drawstring travel bag.
- 3 balls of my exquisite Italian cashmere knitting yarn are included which is enough to make the scarves. You may choose to purchase a fourth ball at the reduced price of $30 ( one ball only at this price) instead of $40 which is the cost of each ball of yarn ordinarily so you can make it a bit longer and /or create the pom poms. (You'll need to call me for the extra ball; too difficult to sort out on the website!)
