Camilla Valley Farm is pleased to offer a series of one day weekend workshops to help knitters expand their skills and learn new techniques. These are hands-on courses focusing on specific techniques and taught by Tobi Wiggins (formerly of Wiggins Wool 'n Stuff). All courses require basic knitting skills only - casting on, knitting and purling. Yarn for classes must be purchased from Camilla Valley Farm but you can bring your own needles if you have them, or purchase them from us. Each of the workshops are $45 each (plus materials fee and tax) and run on Saturdays from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm in our store (click for directions). Refreshments will be provided. To register for any of these workshops, email us at nmanners@camillavalleyfarm.com or phone us at (519) 941-0736. Note that class sizes are limited, so register early! |
