MATERIALS

You choose the product you wish to knit:

“Sampler Scarf” pattern is on hand in the Studio

“Jason’s Hat” pattern by Melissa Thomson (available on Ravelry)

  • 230 yards lt. worsted weight wool, wool blend, or other natural fiber in a light color. Recommend you do not use cotton or acrylic fibers in dark colors. Yarn is available in our Studio; we have several colors you can choose from.

  • Scarf: Knitting needles in a US size #6 straight or #6 -16" circular or size required to produce the gauge.

  • Hat: Knitting needles in a US size #4 - 16" circular. a #6 - 16" circular and size #6 double pointed needles (DPNs). Highly recommend circular metal needles with wire connector. Circular bamboo with monofilament connector have been found to be frustrating to those new to knitting.

    NOTE: Hobby Lobby, Walmart and Michael's have very limited knitting supplies. Recommend seeking out supplies at least 1-2 weeks ahead of time, and by visiting 'Needles in the Haymarket' as your 1st stop to shop.  

  • Misc: darning needle, 3 ring markers, row counter (optional), cable needle — close to size 6

(Note: Needles in the Haymarket is a good source for knitting equipment - Gainesville, VA)

PREPARATION

Be sure to come to the studio early enough to have your yarn purchased and wound into balls before the start of class (suggested 15-30 minutes).
