Taught by Rhiannon Platt
Rhiannon Platt is at least third generation fiber artist. Raised by seamstresses, crocheters, and fiber artists of all kinds, she picked up her first pair of needles over a decade ago. Since her first scarf, Rhiannon has gone on to fabricate for Lion Brand Yarn, Nathan Vincent, Olek, Jeila Gueramian, Londonkaye, and Levi’s. In between commissions, she finds time to write patterns and make endless sweaters.
Location: Prospect Heights Brainery (190 Underhill Ave in Prospect Heights, BK)
The medieval precursor to knitting and crochet, nålebinding dates back to 6500 BCE. Created with strands of wool and a comedically large needle, the fabric is thick and perfect to make a cowl in time for winter.
In the class, students will learn the Oslo stitch as well as some common abbreviations used to create additional stitches. Students will leave with the base and several rows done on their cowl.
Includes wool and a needle for you to keep!
