    • Class Duration:
      2 hours per class, 11am - 1pm, 2 consecutive weeks. Please arrive at least 15 mins before class time on Week 1 to choose your yarn - or better still on a day before class day.

      Prior Experience:
      None!

      Class Materials: 
      You will require 4.5mm - 5mm circular needles and around 100g of Worsted Weight Yarn. We encourage you to choose from our large selection of yarn before the course begins (preferably on a day before class day so you are not rushed). 

      Yarn is not included within the lessons fee because we don't want to restrict the choices available to you across our colour/fibre and budget range.

      Other:
      10% discount on yarn and buttons purchased for your custom cowl.

      We are sorry but we cannot offer refunds on classes if you are unable to attend for whatever reason, unless we are able to refill your spot.

      Classes are run upstairs or downstairs (access via a spiral staircase).

    • About Nuria:


      My name is Nuria and I'm from Barcelona originally although my family and I now live happily this little adorable place that is Kew (Richmond). We recently became official British Citizens!

      Years ago I decided to leave my corporate career as a psychologist behind to spend more time doing what I really love which is teaching people to knit and crochet.

      My inspiration comes mainly from my grandmother Carmen. She was an amazing, brave and inspiring woman who taught me as a little girl all the knitting and crochet skills she was passionate about. I would like to share this passion to all that want to learn.
