Program Description

Event Details

Before you put your winter clothes away, it's time to mend your holey sweaters and socks! We'll provide darning needles, crochet hooks, and a couple kinds of yarn, or bring your own.

If you'd like, you can use creativebug with your library card to learn new mending techniques. Staff will also be available to help you learn basic darning, or, if you're a seasoned mender, use whatever approach you like and get the chore done in good company.
