The Knitting Workshop
Our Knitting Workshop is a place for fostering a love for knitting.
We’d like to provide a welcoming space where creativity and community thrive. Visitors can expect hands-on guidance, a supportive environment, and the joy of creating beautiful, handcrafted pieces.
Check out all the workshops we are running below from introduction to knitting to specific knitting techniques. And if you are somewhere in between, i.e. you can knit and purl but haven’t knitted for a while and not feeling confident enough to start a knitting project on your own, come in for a Knitting Confidence Booster.
The workshop is located on the second floor of a Georgian house at 80 High Street, Brentford – a townhouse full of creatives and a wine bar…
If you can make it down to see us, we hope you’ll find the Knitting Workshop an inspiring environment.
Buses 237, 267, 235, 195, E8 all stop nearby.
>> All purchases made whilst visiting the Knitting Workshop at no. 80 will come with an 8% discount <<
