Finger Knitting Class (Ages 6+), Registration Required!

Join us for an afternoon of finger knitting and fun at Wildlings Bookshop! We will be reading the book Extra Yarn, by Mac Barnett and illustrated by Jon Klassen, and then we'll knit!

Make-up date is Jan. 17 1:30 in case of snow/inclement weather. Families will be notified as soon as possible if the class is rescheduled.

Registration required at this link!

For first time finger knitters we'll do some quick two-finger knitting lessons and get some hands on practice. Those with finger knitting experience can get to work on finger knitting their own garlands, necklaces, ropes, etc. with their color yarn of choice, included in cost of class!

  • Includes approximately 40 yards of super chunky 100% "The Wool" yarn from We Are Knitters!

  • Color options: TBD, will contact after sign-up!

  • We’ll be learning how to make two-finger knitted chains in this class, look for future classes with more mid-level techniques and projects!

  • Light snacks provided!

  • Optional copy of Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen; choose on sign-up

What else to know:

Parents please plan to stay on site for the duration of the class! We'll have some extra yarn in the store if you'd like to learn / practice alongside your child!

We understand that illness happens! Please let us know prior to the class and we will refund the cost of the class fees (if you purchased the book option that will be available for pick-up at a later date)! Please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your child's spot to another child.
