Learn the fundamentals of machine knitting in Manchester and make your own lambswool necktie in this beginner friendly workshop with Izzy from Coyle Studio. We'll cover all the necessary information to get you comfortable on the knitting machine, whether you’re learning a new craft or building on an existing one.

**What to expect:**
- Setting up the machine and threading up with yarn.
- Casting on, knitting a row and adding in colours.
- Increasing and decreasing, making lace holes, ladders and casting off.
- After a lunch break, you'll work on knitting your necktie!
- Enjoy a small group of no more than 5, ensuring everyone receives helpful guidance.
- Practice, experiment and revisit steps while troubleshooting any issues.

By the end of the workshop you will have built a portfolio of samples showcasing the skills you have learnt, a finished necktie ready to wear and the foundations of machine knitting to build on further.

“Izzy was a great teacher! I would recommend this class if you are looking to understand and learn the basics of machine knitting. Izzy was very knowledge and patient. Having a small class also enabled us to learn easily. I feel confident now that I can apply what I have learnt at home. Thank you Izzy!”

“I had an Amy time with Izzy on Sunday. I’ve had a machine for over 5 years and have been to afraid of making mistakes to use it. Izzy didn’t mind my making mistakes. She helped to correct them and explained why they had happened. Izzy is an inspiring teacher. My machine is now set up and ready to go. Thank you I would like to sight that either you provide a cushion for the chairs or as students to supply one. I would definitely recy this class to anyone wanting to to learn machine knitting Anne”

“Izzy was fantastic! I came along to see if I could use or would be interested in trying a knitting machine and loved the experience. The class is really well place and Izzy answers any questions you could have. She's also very patient in helping fix and issues and explaining how to handle them. The class is definitely worth the experience, and even if you don't have a machine or plan on using it again it's a fun thing to try”

“Such a lovely Sunday spent at this machine knitting workshop! I'd recently been passed down a knitting machine and wanted to get started with the basics, and this was the perfect way to do it. Izzy was so friendly and a brilliant teacher. We made sample swatches during the first half of the session to learn different techniques, then used those skills to create a beautiful lambswool neckerchief in the second half. I had a great day, learned loads and can't wait to come back for more!!”
