Braided Rug Class - May 31, 2025

WHEN:  Saturday, May 31 from 2-5pm
WHERE: A Little Knitty Yarn Shop, 1007 Milton Way, Milton WA

CLASS DESCRIPTION:

Things to bring: A sharp pair of scissors

In this class, you will learn how to make a 4-cord braided rug made with alpaca rug yarn. You can make a round or oval rug, and if you’re daring, work on a square rug! (Colors available will differ from sample picture)

Most people understand the process after a couple of hours, but our class lasts 3 hours to confirm everyone understands the concept. Some complete their rug during this time.

Class fee includes instruction and locally raised and processed alpaca wool rug yarn from Firwood Farm Alpacas & Rescue.*
