Learn sixteen different needlepoint stitches as you create the Sweet Sixteen Sampler. This is a great class to learn new ways to create line and texture in your work, moving your interpretation of needlepoint designs to a new level. We will work with some interesting fibers, including multicolored threads, metallic braids and pearl cotton to do the sixteen. Stop by the shop to view the instructor's sample.

Materials list provided upon registration. During the first part of class we will choose materials at Skein Lane.

Crewel Work is a traditional and beautiful form of embroidery using wool to create a slightly raised feature on a linen background. Join Skein Lane to learning the techniques to do these beautiful designs from Phillipa Turnbull.

We are proud to offer several classes at the Skein Lane Studio.
