Yarn on a Budget: Upcycling Sweaters with Justin Near

  • October 11, 2026
  • 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
  • First United Methodist Church, 1421 Spruce St., Boulder, Labyrinth Room
  • 10

Unraveling knit sweaters can provide you with plenty of high-quality yarn (up to a mile!) at a very low cost. Learn how to choose the right sweater to unravel, de-seam a sweater (the hard part!), and unravel it (the fun part!). Every student will be provided with one thrift-store sweater to keep. 

Feel free to bring a sweater from home to learn more about it. There will be tools to share, but feel free to bring a ballwinder if you have one and any tools like lights or magnifiers that might help you see detailed work

Suitable for all levels.
