Intro to Mosaic Colorwork Knitting

Expand your knitting skills and jump into the magical world of color!

Learn to work with multiple colors for the first time while working on increases and decrease as we learn to knit the charming Pressed Flowers Kerchief together in this two-hour class.

Mosaic style color work is the easiest method to learn as you’re only working with one color at a time so it’s a great entry point for working with color.

This class is a great next step after taking our Knitting Newbies and Beyond Beginner Knitting courses or if you’ve ever wanted to learn color work knitting but it seemed too intimidating.

Note because of the slow nature of knitting, you won’t finish this project in class, but you’ll leave with all the skills needed to finish it on your own!

‍ ‍

Teacher: Barbara McCormick

Class fee: $50, no yarn or needles included.

‍ ‍

Materials

  • The Pressed Flowers Kerchief pattern (free!) 

  • 2 skeins (contrasting colors) of DK weight yarn. OR sport and worsted can also work for this pattern, just change needle sizes accordingly. 

  • US 6 circular or straight needles

  • Optional (but useful!) Row counter 

‍ ‍

On the day of or weekdays preceding your course, you may shop with a 10% discount on full-price yarn and supplies for class (some limited items are excluded from this discount).

Minimum 2 people to confirm the class, maximum of 6 students total. If we don’t reach the minimum of two students by 3 days before the date of the first class we’ll refund your purchase in full. Read and understand our Class Policies here.

Book Signing! Andrea @theknittingPT

As part of our Sheep and Wook week of free and fun events we will host Andrea Lui, certified physical therapist and the author of Craft without Pain for a book signing on Wed, Oct. 14 from 6-8pm.

We will have copies of her book for sale! Pick up a copy to support Andrea and your favorite S&W LYS, Yarn Farm Kingston!

Jocelyn first met Andrea at Vogue Knitting Live a couple years ago when Andrea gave a lecture on how knitters and crafters can take care of themselves while crafting, an activity that necessarily involves repetitive movements and often causes us to lose track of time and thus craft on for quite a while without a break (not just me, amirite??). Andrea’s lecture was a gift and we are thrilled to offer this opportunity for you to meet Andrea and learn too through her book.

About Andrea

Andrea Lui, PT, DPT, OCS (@theknittingPT) is a board certified orthopedic physical therapist and the author of Craft without Pain, who happens to love all things fiber arts. Her passion lies in patient education, and in 2021 she combined her love of fiber arts with her physical therapy knowledge to help makers take care of their bodies and improve their crafting longevity. You can find maker self-care reels on Instagram @theKnittingPT, or watch her YouTube knitting podcast as TheKnittingPT where she talks about projects and wellness tips.

Knitter’s Oracle Deck – Cartomancy for Yarn People!

Are you a lover and reader of tarot decks, Lenormand, oracle decks and the like? Or are you curious and completely new to cartomancy? In any case, if you are a knitter or crocheter, the Knitter’s Oracle deck is a great one for you! This class + deck is a great treat to give yourself as we head into Halloween and All Soul’s Day/Samhain.

In this ninety-minute session, Jocelyn will start with a brief overview of the different types of decks: tarot vs. Lenormand vs. oracle. Then we’ll unbox our Knitter’s Oracle deck and learn about the cards’ meanings as proposed by the artist, Alexandra. We’ll also consider, as crafters ourselves, how we can look at the drawn images and use our intuition to draw our own interpretations from the cards.

Jocelyn will also share a few spreads that you can use with this deck based on tarot and Lenormand, as well as resources to go deeper. Cards such as these are fabulous tools to prompt new ways of thinking and seeing the world, as opposed to telling you what will be in your future. That said, oracle cards can give you guidance on what may come to pass, absent any intention or involvement by you.

Finally, Jocelyn will share ideas on how you can integrate your crafting with readings with the Knitter’s Oracle deck such as making your own tarot cloth.

Active teaching is expected to take 90 min, after which point you are invited to stay longer to give each other practice readings!

Your class fee will cover instruction and a Knitter’s Oracle deck to keep (retail price $40). This is an absolutely stunning deck of 36 full-color, holographic foil-edged oracle cards, from The First Stitch to The Finished Object! This hand-drawn, Lenormand-based deck was created by artist Alexandra Tinsley and includes an instruction booklet/card guide.

Teacher: Jocelyn Songco
Class Size: min 2 and max 8
Class fee $55

Cancellation Policy: Full refund less credit card processing fee (effective 4/11/23) is provided for any cancellation up to one week before the class date.

Weave an Asymmetrical Tote/Basket

Yarn Farm Kingston is delighted to welcome basketmaker Mary Ann Williams, based right here in the Hudson Valley, for her first basket weaving workshop in our space!

This attractive basket is a wonderful introductory basketmaking project. Featuring an asymmetrical dyed accent, it is both decorative and practical—a lovely addition to any home. Measuring approximately 7” W × 3" D x  8” H (not including the handle), it is the perfect size for holding mail, tools, or a favorite pad of paper. It would also make a perfect container for dried flowers.

Participants will learn how to lay out a filled base, weave up the sides, insert a leather handle or strap, and finish the basket with a traditional rim and lash. Your finished basket will be unstained; instructions for staining your basket if desired will be provided for you to take home.

We will meet from 9am-3pm with a break for lunch. At registration, you will have the option to add lunch at Yarn Farm at a discounted rate. You may also patronize eateries in our neighborhood, the Kingston Waterfront, or bring lunch from home to eat at our bar during the break.

Course fee of $125 (pay online when you register) + Materials fee of $40 payable in cash or check (only) the day-of to the instructor. Total fee $165.

Max attendees: 8.

We will open registration for this class at 9am on Friday, September 25. If this class is sold out and you would like to be added to the waitlist, please email us.

Read and understand our Class Policies here. We do not offer refunds on classes/workshops. If you are unable to attend you may transfer your spot to a friend. Please email us to notify us of the change. This course is intended for adults.

About your instructor: Mary Ann made her first basket late one afternoon after a challenging day as an elementary teacher… and reports that it was a disaster! Despite that less than positive experience, she discovered her love of basket making. For thirty five years she has actively sought to increase her basketmaking skills and to share what she’s learned with others. Mary Ann teaches classes privately, at local libraries and other venues such as the NYS Sheep and Wool Festival. We are so lucky to have her with us this fall.

(For more on Atsushi and opportunities to learn directly from this master, see his website and Instagram.)

Teacher: Jocelyn Songco

Class fee $65 and materials fee $20, or a total cost of $85.

Materials provided: metal plate thimble, one skein (20 meters) of sashiko embroidery floss, one sashiko needle, and one 100% cotton or linen fat quarter.

Beyond Sashiko Stitching: Sashiko Part 2

Welcome back sashiko stitchers! This is Part 2 of our sashiko series. To register you must have already taken Sashiko Stitching at Yarn Farm Kingston and learned how to use a palm thimble. If you register without having taken the first class, Sashiko Stitching, you may use your credit to sign up for that foundations class first on a future date that it is offered, take the value in store credit, or get a refund less processing fees charged to us by our payments processor Square.

In this two-hour follow up class, we will go beyond the technical use of the palm thimble and venture into using various sashiko patterns (through cloth carbon paper, chalk pencils, stencils, rulers and more) and how to use sashiko to strengthen, mend and embellish your fabric.

Jocelyn will share these techniques as taught to her by Atsushi Futatsuya, a third generation master sashiko artist. (For more on Atsushi and opportunities to learn directly from this master, see his website and Instagram.)

Your materials fee will cover all the essential materials and tools for class (and reflects 10% off) and are yours to keep. The kit will *not* include a sashiko needle and thimble; bring these from your first class or buy them at Yarn Farm as needed.

You may shop for additional sashiko materials and tools the day of class and use a 10% discount. (Yay!)

Teacher: Jocelyn Songco

Sashiko Stitching August session

Sashiko, a Japanese form of embroidery well over a hundred years old, has exploded in popularity lately! Unsurprising as it’s both beautiful and functional.

The foundation of sashiko is the rhythm of stitching, using a special plate thimble made of metal. In this class Jocelyn will share how to use this thimble and an overview of sashiko as taught by Atsushi Futatsuya, a third generation master sashiko artist. (For more on Atsushi and opportunities to learn directly from this master, see his website and Instagram.)

Teacher: Jocelyn Songco

Class fee $65 and materials fee $20, or a total cost of $85.

Materials provided: metal plate thimble, one skein (20 meters) of sashiko embroidery floss, one sashiko needle, and one 100% cotton or linen fat quarter.

Minimum 2 people to confirm the class, maximum of 8 students total. If we don’t reach the minimum of two students by 3 days before the date of the first class we’ll refund your purchase in full. Read and understand our Class Policies here.

Regrets cancelled - Visible Mending in August (ONE three-hour session)

Regrets cancelled - did not reach class size minimum.

One three-hour session on Sunday.

So many Yarn Farm Friends ask us about visible mending, and for good reason! Use sewing techniques to mend, beautify and sustain your garments and textile treasures. Brilliant!

You will learn these techniques with hands-on practice in class:

  • Running stitch (with or without thimble)

  • Patching (raw or with a neat edge)

  • Applique

  • Reverse applique

  • Woven patch (without a loom)

  • Embroidery

It’s indeed a lot, and we’ll move steadily through the techniques. You may not try every single one yourself in class but you’ll certainly do 2-3 of them, and you’ll have what you need to keep practicing and mending at home, including a materials kit (value $40-50) included in your class fee. In class we’ll also go through the range of tools that can be helpful. But to start you don’t need very much!

Teacher: Jocelyn Songco
Class fee $100 including materials.

Materials provided (illustrative and valued at a min of $40): variety of cloth (cotton, linen and wool), sashiko embroidery floss, DMC embroidery floss, needles, stick and stitch for  embroidery. Not included: thimble, darning egg, or embroidery hoop.

During your course, you may shop with a 10% discount on full-price items (some limited items are excluded from this discount) on the dates your class meets.

Note: In February we are offering this class in two formats. A single three-hour session and a two-session course (each 90 min). We hope one of these suits your schedule! If you’d like more time to practice techniques, consider the two-session format so you have time between sessions to practice the techniques from the first half of the course. Bear in mind that the two-session course meets on Thursday evenings. There may be chatter from the bar during the class. If this will disturb you, please consider the Saturday class.

Minimum 2 people to confirm the class, maximum of 6 students total. If we don’t reach the minimum of two students by 3 days before the date of the first class we’ll refund your purchase in full. Read and understand our Class Policies here.

Knitting Clinic with Yarn Farm Kingston team member

Have a knitting project you’ve gotten stuck on or a big bin of WIPs that haven’t been touched in …well who knows how long?!

Drop in during our Knitting Clinic hour and get unstuck. We’ll support you on whatever you’re working on. These are generally offered from 3-4pm on one or more weekdays in July and August. To be sure, check our registration platform for all confirmed dates.

Please note this is not a class. If you’re looking to learn techniques rather than get support on something you’re working on, check out our Knitting Newbies, Next Step Knitting, and Beyond Beginner Knitting classes as well as specific technique classes that we offer. 

The Knitting Clinic is one hour long for a max of four people. Register through our class platform here, or walk-in the day of and you can attend if space permits.

In practice, this Clinic happens "rain or shine" as scheduled; no minimum # of students. So, if you register and you're the only one, congrats, you have a private session at an unbelieveable price! If you register and there are up to 4 of you, we'll split the time fairly so everyone gets some assistance. We think you'll also learn from hearing others' questions, so this is a great outcome too!

Clinic fee: $15 for any portion of the hour that you attend

Bring: your work-in-progress, needles and notions 

Clinic policy differs from our Class Policy as it is not a class. Your registration is valid for the date you choose and there are no refunds nor store credit including for no-shows the day-of.

However, if you need to make a change and would like to come on a future date, please email or call us as soon as you know (even the day-of) and it should be fine to reschedule you.

Regrets cancelled - Beginner Spinning on Your Wheel

Regrets cancelled - Did not meet class size minimum.

Have a spinning wheel but don’t know how to use it, or need a refresher?

Want to get one but don’t know how to spin, and unsure what to do next?

  • Shop for your wheel at Yarn Farm and this course is free with your purchase of a wheel! Talk to Jocelyn to learn more.

  • OR rent a wheel from us to take this class. We have up to three rentals presently available. If you purchase a wheel after taking this class you get $50 off your wheel purchase.

In this short-form beginner intro class we focus on getting you on your wheel and spinning! In contrast to our one-day intensive, there will be less attention to the technical aspects of your wheel and the difference between methods of spinning. (If you’d like to take that longer class or potentially a private session, email us so we can get a sense of demand and add the intensive to our calendar in the future!)

You’ll learn how to:

  • Pre-draft fiber to help make spinning at your wheel easier

  • Change settings on your wheel to increase/decrease “take up” (how hard your wheel pulls your spun yarn from you)

  • Identify fiber that is good for beginners (spoiler: wool! and certain breeds in particular) vs. better for more intermediate spinners (spoiler: silk!)

We’ll give you an overview of the parts of a spinning wheel and what they do, and give you feedback on your spinning to help you spin better! We’ll explain what you do with your yarn after it’s on your bobbin, so you can continue to this step after class at home.

Bring your own wheel, borrow one from a friend, or rent one from us. We have a limited number of rental wheels available for an additional $50/session (first-come, first served and payment in advance). Email us to check if we have a loaner wheel available for you.*

Course fee: $75, includes 4 oz of beginner-friendly spinning fiber. Does not include use of a spinning wheel. Bring your own wheel.

Teacher: Jocelyn Songco

During your course, you may shop with a 10% discount on full-price items (some limited items are excluded from this discount) on the dates your class meets.

Minimum 2 people to confirm the class, maximum of 4 students total. If we don’t reach the minimum of two students by 3 days before the date of the first class we’ll refund your purchase in full. Read and understand our Class Policies here.
