Join Courtney from The Chunky Needle for a cosy, creative workshop where you will knit your very own chunky blanket — no needles required, just your arms!

Perfect for absolute beginners aged ten and over, you will choose from two kilograms of vegan-friendly acrylic or luxuriously soft one hundred percent hypoallergenic Merino wool in a range of gorgeous colours.

Wool colours will become limited ten working days prior to the start of the workshop, so if there is a colour you wish to work with that is not listed, please contact hello@theknitgurl.com. All supplies will be brought to you on the day of the workshop — nothing will be posted to your address beforehand.

Blankets measure approximately 30in by 50in and use 2kg of your chosen wool. Over two relaxed hours, with hot drinks, cakes, and all materials included, Courtney will guide you step-by-step until you head home with a beautiful, handcrafted blanket to treasure.

With over two decades of chunky knitting experience, Courtney’s passion for soft textures, bold design, and making things by hand shines through every stitch. Come alone or bring a friend, meet new people, learn a fun new skill, and enjoy a couple of hours of pure, yarn-filled bliss.

The cost is £78 per person.
