Zero to hero! Three amigurumi camp sessions on 1/23, 1/30 and 2/6.

Ready to join the amigurumi craze? Don’t know how to crochet at all?!

At Yarn Farm Kingston we are offering a three-session ‘camp’ where we crochet together to make one Wooble each week, using the ridiculously cute Zero to Hero box set of not one, not two but three Woobles!

Haven’t heard about Woobles? It’s a beginner kit where you learn how to make amigurumi, or a super cute crocheted stuffed toy. The Zero to Hero Woobles kit comes complete with video support and all the materials, tools and notions you need to make three amigurumi!

We start with a simple yet simply sweet penguin, Pierre, then move on to a dear dinosaur, Fred, and finally finish with a lovely llama, Gertrude! Fall in love with the Woobles just as we have.

The camp plan is as follows: in Week 1 you’ll get your kit and an overview of its contents, which we’ll unbox together. We’ll get started with Pierre the Penguin through which you’ll learn basic crochet stitches. Then you can continue and maybe finish him in the days after class on your own, including with support from the Woobles videos that you’ll have access to through your kit!

In Week 2 we’ll start off with show and tell of our penguins (maybe you renamed yours?) and we’ll cover any hiccups anyone faced in making and finishing him, and review crochet stitches that we’ve done so far. Then on to Fred the Dinosaur!

Finally, in Week 3 we’ll have show and tell of our dinos and make sure all went well in making him, and then it’s time for Gertrude!

Each camp session is scheduled for 90 minutes, which we estimate will be about one hour of active teaching time interspersed with thirty minutes of crocheting together. Sign up soon if you’re interested as space and kits are limited.

This class is geared for very beginner crocheters… those who have never crocheted before or are beginners who want support in a small group setting. If you’re more proficient but still want to join, no problem! Just be patient with (and maybe help assist) the new crocheters!

Teacher: Jocelyn Songco
Class Size: min 2 and max 4
Total class fee $150, which includes the Woobles Zero to Hero kit for $85 (retail price $120) and teaching fee of $65. You will receive your kit in the first day of class.

Regrets, no make ups for missed classes. Sold out class? Email us to get on the waitlist. And if we have enough interest we’ll run the class again.

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. Refund is less these fees because they are non-refundable fees charged to us, and since you can keep the pattern even if you need to cancel. Credit towards another class is provided for any cancellation made from six days through the day before the class date. No credit or refunds issued after this time, including no-shows on the day-of. If the class is cancelled by us because we have not met the stated minimum number of students, you will receive a full refund. You’ll have the option to keep your kit to do on your own and receive a refund for the $65 class (teaching) fee only.

In Beginner Crochet – Part 2, we will cover double crochet, triple crochet and half-double crochet, in a very small group setting that is conducive to learning! (In Beginner Crochet 1 we cover foundational stitches: slip knot, chain stitch and single crochet.)

After taking Part 1, you may come to this class once or multiple times, whatever supports your learning! This class is offered once a month and you can take it soon after you take Part 1 or after some time has passed, as your schedule permits. This class is also a good option if you learned how to crochet in the past and would like a refresher. We think it's ideal to learn foundational skills in a live, in-person class.

If you have not yet taken Beginner Crochet – Part 1 but want to take this class, please call or come by to chat with us about the suitability of this class for you.

For this class, no materials purchase is required. Just bring your yarn that you purchased for Beginner Crochet 1!

Class Fee: $30 (for each Beginner Crochet - Part 2 class that you choose to attend)

In this class we will cover how to purl and bind off, in a very small group setting that is conducive to learning! (In Beginner Knitting – Part 1 we cover how to cast on and knit.)

After taking Part 1, you may come to this class once or multiple times, whatever supports your learning! This class is offered roughly once a month and you can take it right after you take Part 1, or after some time has passed, as your schedule permits. This class is also a good option if you learned how to knit in the past and would like a refresher. We think it's ideal to learn foundational skills in a live, in-person class.

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.)

Class plan: 2 to 2 ½ hours of active teaching followed by time for in-shop practice stitching and support.

Teacher: Jocelyn Songco
Class Size: min 2 and max 8
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.

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. Credit towards another class is provided for any cancellation made from six days through the day before the class date. No credit or refunds issued after this time, including no-shows on the day-of. If the class is cancelled by us because we have not met the stated minimum number of students, you will receive a full refund.

Cal will show you 2 different ways to patch a hole in woven garments: Overlay and Reverse Applique, various stitches that work for each method, and when to use them. Then we will mend a hole in a knitted garment with traditional darning. Whether you try to do it invisibly or artfully, you’ll extend the life of your favorite woolies by knowing how to darn them. Traditional darning works well for smaller holes or areas that are worn thin. You might have so much fun, you'll actually be happy to see a new hole in your most-loved and worn garments! No prerequisite skills.

Please bring:
2 items (woven or T-shirt) with holes to be patched, or a piece of fabric to become a “mending sampler”
Scraps of woven and knit fabric for patches
Hand-sewing needles in a few sizes
All-purpose, buttoncraft, or top-stitching thread
Embroidery floss (Cal suggests size 8 Perle Cotton)
Pins
Scissors
A sock, sweater or other knit item with a small* hole to be darned (can be hand or machine knit)
Small amount of comparable-sized yarn to what the original is knit from (probably between fingering and worsted), can be matching or contrast
Tapestry needles in a few smaller sizes (or any needles with a large enough eye for yarn)
*about 1” or less

Note: Cal will bring extra supplies to share (especially fabric scraps and yarn), so don't worry if you don't have everything! Bring what you have. You can also shop for selected supplies at Yarn Farm Kingston as needed: hand sewing needles and various kinds of embroidery floss including hand-dyed thread!

Two hour session offered on 2/27 or 3/20 (choose one date)

Ready to go beyond beginner crochet?

Learn to crochet amigurumi using a kit in this two-hour session. Amigurumi is a cute, stuffed crocheted toy. Jocelyn will take you step by step through the steps to make your choice of a cute companion from the kits we have available at Yarn Farm Kingston. Choose from our kits (max value $15; or apply this value towards a pricier kit).

Amigurumi kits look like toys for kids, but crocheting amigurumi can be surprisingly challenging! We got you, and have tips and resources to share. You should be comfortable with basic crochet stitches: chain stitches, single and double crochet and slip stitches. This is not a beginner how-to-crochet class.

Kits come with an appropriate sized crochet hook. That said, bring your own hooks if you have any. The crochet hooks included in kits are often plastic or metal and may be less comfortable than the hooks you can buy individually.

Teacher: Jocelyn Songco

Once you understand the formula, you can sit down to crochet a hat-- without a pattern-- whenever the urge strikes. Add in different stitches, techniques, shapes and color-changing to the mix and you'll be busy hooking up a lifetime of hats for everyone you know!

Prerequisite: Students must be comfortable with their stitches (at least chain, single and double crochet).

Bring and/or shop for these supplies:

One skein of worsted or bulky yarn

Crochet hook: G or H hook for worsted, I or J for bulky

Tape measure

Split-ring stitch markers

Series of three 2-hour classes on Mar 16, 23 and 30

Sewing on a machine is quick and practical, but for many it’s difficult to find the dedicated time and space required to make it a regular habit. Moving your sewing practice into the realm of handwork (like knitting, crochet, and embroidery) means you can stitch up garments whenever (and wherever) you have a few spare minutes, or on the couch at night while watching a movie, and carry a project with you so you always have it. Amazingly, you might find you can finish a hand-sewn garment sooner than a machine-sewn one!

Cal will teach you how to work with a pattern (see supply list below for options) for a simple, boxy top and learn how to sew seams, finish necklines and hem edges with only your hands and a needle and thread. Several methods for each type of seam will be shown, so you may also create a sampler of extra techniques.

Both decorative and functional stitching techniques will take your slow-fashion wardrobe to the next level, and add an element of meditative calm to your sewing. On future projects you can use your new skills in combination with machine sewing, or entirely on their own.

No prerequisite skills, though an understanding of basic sewing principles will be helpful. You will need to have your pieces (front and back only, skip any facings) cut out before start of class.

Please bring shirt pattern and the supplies below:

- Pattern* for simple top (see list below)

- Fabric: light-to-medium weight woven cotton, linen or blend. Quantity as indicated for your size** on pattern, but 2 yards is probably sufficient for most. Solid fabric is best to see your stitches, but print is ok too.

- Front and Back pieces ALREADY CUT OUT of your fabric (no need for any facings included in pattern). Please use simplest version with no added seams or sleeves!

- Fat quarter or approximately 12-18” square of similar or same fabric (could be a scrap left over after cutting) for sampler

- Bias tape, 1 yard of ½” single-fold, can be self-made or packaged

- All-purpose thread, can be contrast (to see your stitches) or matching and/or size 8 Perle Cotton

- Hand-sewing needles in a few sizes, or your favorite size

- Pins

- Scissors

- Marking tool (chalk, wax or pencil) and ruler

-Optional: Thimble

*Please use one of the following patterns, or similar top:
Boxy Tee/Drapy Tunic drafted in a previous class with Cal, or from her online video class, or tutorial found on her website (NOTE: please just do the simple version without the seam and pocket)

Two hour session offered on 2/27 or 3/20 (choose one date)

Ready to go beyond beginner crochet?

Learn to crochet amigurumi using a kit in this two-hour session. Amigurumi is a cute, stuffed crocheted toy. Jocelyn will take you step by step through the steps to make your choice of a cute companion from the kits we have available at Yarn Farm Kingston. Choose from our kits (max value $15; or apply this value towards a pricier kit).

Amigurumi kits look like toys for kids, but crocheting amigurumi can be surprisingly challenging! We got you, and have tips and resources to share. You should be comfortable with basic crochet stitches: chain stitches, single and double crochet and slip stitches. This is not a beginner how-to-crochet class.

Kits come with an appropriate sized crochet hook. That said, bring your own hooks if you have any. The crochet hooks included in kits are often plastic or metal and may be less comfortable than the hooks you can buy individually.

Teacher: Jocelyn Songco
Class Size: min 2 and max 5
Class fee $75, includes your choice of one amigurumi kit from Yarn Farm Kingston (max value $15; most of our amigurumi kits are $12-15 the exception being the Woobles brand kits)

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. Credit towards another class is provided for any cancellation made from six days through the day before the class date. No credit or refunds issued after this time, including no-shows on the day-of. If the class is cancelled by us because we have not met the stated minimum number of students, you will receive a full refund.

Learn to make a Mia Tote Bag using 9mm Bobbiny cotton cord with Nathalie in this two-hour session!

Nathalie will take you step by step through the pattern steps to make this chunky and fabulous tote bag complete with fun tassel from the same cotton cord. It’s a fairly quick and super satisfying crochet project and makes a wonderful gift for yourself or a friend. Even better, come to class with a friend and make one together! You’ll chose Bobbiny 9mm crochet cord ($33-39) with a large crochet hook for super bulky yarn. The pattern calls for a 16mm hook, so bring or buy this hook from Yarn Farm. Many large hooks will work just fine, e.g., O-P-Q, or 12mm-16mm. You may also wish to add an optional leather cross-body strap ($25-27) for added versatility of your tote.

Teacher: Nathalie Probst
Class Size: min 2 and max 5
Class fee $60

Materials fee: Min $30, max will depend on whether you purchase a hook and/or leather strap. You will have 10% off your materials purchase for class, whether on the day-of or in the days prior to class if you choose to come in early.

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.

If the class is cancelled by us because we have not met the stated minimum number of students, you will receive a full refund.

Welcome Cal Patch!

Whether you’ve knit, crocheted, sewn or (GASP!) bought it from a store, anything can benefit from a beautiful crochet edge!  Crochet is incredibly versatile, and can be refined and delicate, or freeform and wild, open and meshy, or dense and ornate, and it’s so easy to add on to a finished piece that just needs a little pizzazz or polish. You can use these edgings on clothing, pillowcases, blankets or virtually anything with an edge. In this 3-hour class Cal will teach you three simple edgings and three fancier ones, useful for any kind of project. Students should have a grasp of the basic stitches: Chain, Single, Double and Triple Crochet

Please bring and/or shop for these supplies: Scrap yarn (worsted to fingering), compatible crochet hooks, knit, crochet or woven swatches to work onto (can be old gauge swatches, cut from old machine-knit sweaters, t-shirts, or fleece)

Teacher: Cal Patch
Class Size: min 3 and max 4
Class Fee: $90

(In Beginner Weaving – Part 2 we cover warping this lap loom, more techniques to add texture, and finishing your weaving.)

You may come to this class once or multiple times, whatever supports your learning! It is meant for absolute beginners but also a good option if you learned how to weave in the past and would like a refresher, or would just like to spend some time doing something new and creative. We think it's ideal to learn foundational skills in a live, in-person class.

You will weave on a loom that is on loan to you for the duration of the class, with access to materials (yarn, roving) during the class. Approx. 10-15 min before the end of class, Jocelyn will help students remove their weaving from the loom and explain how to finish your piece.

Teacher: Dania Rajendra
Class Size: min 2 and max 5
Class fee $180 for three 2-hour classes on 3/27, 4/3 and 4/10 and which includes the shawl pattern that Yarn Farm will purchase for you from Ravelry and send to you by email as soon as we process your class registration. Don’t buy the pattern directly.* Class fee does not include yarn.

Please bring:

• Printout of Estonian Trellis Shawl pattern with you to class as we don’t have a printer in-store. We recommend a hard copy but you can bring a digital file and use an e-reader/iPad if that works well for you.

• Needles and notions, unless you’d like to purchase them at Yarn Farm. You will get 10% off any yarn and/or supplies purchased for class.

 According to the pattern, you’ll need:

• 3.0mm US2.5 needles or your preferred needle for your choice of yarn

• Stitch markers & a wool needle to darn in ends.

Materials fee: We kindly request that you purchase your yarn for class from us, which helps our business sustainability! You will get 10% off your yarn for class, as well as needles for class if needed. For this shawl we’d recommend a non-superwash wool from Jill Draper such as Barstow or Mohonk Light, or Berroco’s Lanas Light! Come by in the days/weeks before class to pick out your yarn and to use your discount.

*Don’t buy the pattern directly! We can’t refund you if you purchase the pattern from Ravelry directly, and we do need to sell you the pattern as part of the class fee, so that we know the designer has gotten paid for the use of their pattern that we will use in class. So, after registering, HANG TIGHT… we’ll buy your copy of the pattern and email it to you via Ravelry ASAP when we process your registration. Thank you!

Regrets, there are no makeups if you miss class.

Cancellation Policy: Full refund less credit card processing fee (effective 4/11/23) and pattern cost of $6 is provided for any cancellation up to one week before the class date. Refund is less these fees because they are non-refundable fees charged to us, and since you can keep the pattern even if you need to cancel.

If the class is cancelled by us because we have not met the stated minimum number of students, you will receive a full refund.

This class is offered once a month and you can take it soon after you take Part 1 or after some time has passed, as your schedule permits. This class is also a good option if you learned how to crochet in the past and would like a refresher. We think it's ideal to learn foundational skills in a live, in-person class.

If you have not yet taken Beginner Crochet – Part 1 but want to take this class, please call or come by to chat with us about the suitability of this class for you.

For this class, no materials purchase is required. Just bring your yarn that you purchased for Beginner Crochet 1!

In this class, you will learn to warp your lap loom, and add texture through rya knots and soumak, in a very small group setting that is conducive to learning! (In Beginner Weaving – Part 1 we weave on a pre-warped lap loom and learn plain weave.)

You may come to this class once or multiple times, whatever supports your learning! It is offered roughly every other month, and you can take it any time after you have taken Part 1. This class is for absolute beginners but also a good option if you learned how to weave in the past and would like a refresher. It's a great option if you have purchased a lap loom and would like step by step guidance in how to warp your loom. We think it's ideal to learn foundational skills in a live, in-person class, after which you may choose to build on your skills with youtube videos if you learn well through this medium.

If you haven't purchased a lap loom from YFK already, you will weave on a loom that is on loan to you for the duration of the class, with access to materials (yarn, roving) during the class. Should you wish to buy a loom after your class, you may use a 10% student discount on your loom purchase.

Your class fee includes a complementary cup of tea or coffee, in addition to use of the lap loom and a variety of materials for weaving during your class.

In this one-day intensive for beginners you will obtain a foundation in the basics of spinning wool. Learn about the different types of spinning fibers and get hands on experience in the basics of hand spinning, from fiber preparation, basic draw techniques, plying, through to skeining and finishing.  This is also a good option if you learned to spin in the past and need a refresher. Proficiency in spinning will come over time with steady practice after your course.

Bring your own wheel or borrow one from a friend. Make sure your wheel is functional. (Bring it to the shop before class and we can help you check if you’d like, but Jocelyn is not a spinning wheel repair person.)

Approx. four ounces of beginner-friendly spinning fiber is provided and included in the class fee.

Teacher: Jocelyn Songco

Class Size: minimum 2, maximum 4 students

Class Fee: $145. This is for approx. four hours of instruction and four ounces of beginner friendly wool for spinning.

You must bring a wheel to class for the session. If you don’t have a wheel or don’t have access to borrow one, Yarn Farm has one spinning wheel available to use in class on a first-come, first-served basis, for a $20 rental fee. Contact us to check availability and reserve.

There will be a short lunch break provided mid-way through the intensive. Lunch is not provided. We have light fare at our bar and we’d be delighted to feed you during your break. A la carte prices for food range from $8-12.

In Beginner Crochet – Part 2, we will cover double crochet, triple crochet and half-double crochet, in a very small group setting that is conducive to learning! (In Beginner Crochet 1 we cover foundational stitches: slip knot, chain stitch and single crochet.)

After taking Part 1, you may come to this class once or multiple times, whatever supports your learning! This class is offered once a month and you can take it soon after you take Part 1 or after some time has passed, as your schedule permits. This class is also a good option if you learned how to crochet in the past and would like a refresher. We think it's ideal to learn foundational skills in a live, in-person class.

If you have not yet taken Beginner Crochet – Part 1 but want to take this class, please call or come by to chat with us about the suitability of this class for you.

For this class, no materials purchase is required. Just bring your yarn that you purchased for Beginner Crochet 1!

Teacher: Nathalie Probst
Class Size: min 2 and max 4
Class Fee: $30 (for each Beginner Crochet - Part 2 class that you choose to attend)

Materials Fee (for your first class): Not required if you have taken Beginner Crochet - Part 1 with us. Just bring your yarn from your first class! You will in any case have a $5 store credit* available to you for yarn and materials when you take this class.

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. Credit towards another class is provided for any cancellation made from six days through the day before the class date. No credit or refunds issued after this time, including no-shows on the day-of. If the class is cancelled by us because we have not met the stated minimum number of students, you will receive a full refund.

*Store credit: The $5 store credit may be used solely towards the purchase of yarn and needles for your class and on the date of your class. There is no cash value for the $5 store credit offered as part of this class.

In this class we will cover how to purl and bind off, in a very small group setting that is conducive to learning! (In Beginner Knitting – Part 1 we cover how to cast on and knit.)

After taking Part 1, you may come to this class once or multiple times, whatever supports your learning! This class is offered roughly once a month and you can take it right after you take Part 1, or after some time has passed, as your schedule permits. This class is also a good option if you learned how to knit in the past and would like a refresher. We think it's ideal to learn foundational skills in a live, in-person class.

In this class, you will learn to warp your lap loom, and add texture through rya knots and soumak, in a very small group setting that is conducive to learning! (In Beginner Weaving – Part 1 we weave on a pre-warped lap loom and learn plain weave.)

You may come to this class once or multiple times, whatever supports your learning! It is offered roughly every other month, and you can take it any time after you have taken Part 1. This class is for absolute beginners but also a good option if you learned how to weave in the past and would like a refresher. It's a great option if you have purchased a lap loom and would like step by step guidance in how to warp your loom. We think it's ideal to learn foundational skills in a live, in-person class, after which you may choose to build on your skills with youtube videos if you learn well through this medium.

If you haven't purchased a lap loom from YFK already, you will weave on a loom that is on loan to you for the duration of the class, with access to materials (yarn, roving) during the class. Should you wish to buy a loom after your class, you may use a 10% student discount on your loom purchase.

Teacher: Jocelyn Songco
Class Size: min 2 and max 6
Class Fee: $50 (for each Beginner Weaving – Part 2 class that you choose to attend)

Your class fee includes a complementary cup of tea or coffee, in addition to use of the lap loom and a variety of materials for weaving during your class.

Learn the fun and relaxing technique of wet felting by making a bird house. Wet felted bird houses are an eco-friendly and sustainable natural art. 

Have you wet felted a birdhouse at Yarn Farm in the past? This is a NEW take on it! We will be exploring colors and more vibrant designs for a more decorative birdhouse rather than a house for birds.

Your instructor Carlise will guide you in shaping your template so you can build your house on a resist. You will learn how to prepare wool fiber for wet felting, process your fiber so that it felts and then full the felt so that it becomes a sturdy structure. The last process is to mold your structure so that it dries in the shape you intended.

The class is beginner friendly, hands on and you get to take your adorable birdhouse home for your sweet feathered friends!
