The Open Archive: Christmas Yarns

Wool you join us for our Christmas Open Archive? Dip into our collection of knitting patterns from the last hundred years for some purls of wisdom.

The Open Archive: Christmas Yarns, Saturday 7th December, 1pm to 3pm

Discover woollen swimming costumes, winter warmers, mini-dresses and knitted craftivist items, including our set of pussy hats. If you feel inspired, bring along your own knitting or use our patterns to help us develop our handling collections over a warming cup of tea and a mince pie.

On Saturday 21st September, we have our first Open Archive event this Autumn, where we’ll be looking at Spare Rib magazine. Find out more here.
