Introduction to Circular Sock Knitting

About this workshop

Ever wondered how those old hand-crank knitting machines actually work? Come and get hands-on with our circular sock knitting machine in this friendly taster session. You'll learn the basics of setting up the machine, how the needles and cams work together to form a tube of knitted fabric, and have a go at knitting your own swatch (or even starting a sock!) to take home. No knitting experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to get your hands moving. Perfect for makers, textile enthusiasts, or anyone keen to see a bit of knitting history in action.
