T-shirt Crochet Basket Making

Learn how to make your own yarn from t-shirts ready to be thrown out (and help save the planet in the process). T-shirt yearn provided - choose your own colour combination and we will crochet a handled basket together. All materials provided (t-shirt, yarn, crochet hook) - and you’ll take away instructions so you can crochet at home.

*Must know basic crochet and how to follow a basic crochet pattern*

Bookings essential. Spaces are limited. All ages welcome – having basic crochet skills, key. You are welcome to join us for a potluck lunch at 12:30 pm.
