Speed Up Your Sock Knitting
Exciting new service at Loopy Yarns: Sock Tubes! Drop off a skein of sock yarn and, three days later, it will be ready to pick up in a form we lovingly refer to as a Sock Tube. A sock tube constitutes the most time consuming step of sock knitting - namely the leg and foot. We transition the yarn to a tube, you add a heel, toe and cuff and YOU'VE GOT A SOCK! There is a nominal fee for this process ($10 if sock yarn is purchased at Loopy; $20 for all other sock yarn).
Now you've got a sock without a heel. You know how to make the toe and the top ribbing of the sock, but what about the heel!!! Join us for one of these exciting and easy heel classes to learn how to create an afterthought heel. This technique is also great for replacing work out heels on handknit socks or for adding a seamless and simple pocket to a finished garment.
Saturday 2:00-4:00 pm February 11
