Clara Parkes visited Virginia Beach!

Saturday
October 18th

1:00 – 4:00pm. – Clara Parkes led the TKGV and guests on a behind-the-skeins tour of our yarn world. Using the fundamental yarn facts presented in her book, The Knitter’s Book of Yarn, we walked through the flora and fauna of yarn—from the ways fibers get prepared for spinning all the way to how they are spun and the different ply scenarios you may encounter. She shared tips for “reading” skeins on the shelf, testing your swatches at home, and troubleshooting common problems.
