Albion Nights, Norwich – Saturday 13th July – Beginner day retreat – BOOK HERE

Ali will be sharing the fundamentals of how to use the ‘incredibusy’ darning loom, handmade in the UK from salvaged materials, the design inspired by the original 1950s speed loom. This is a handcrafted tool designed to simplify the process of darning and repairing small snags in fabric.

There will also be an option to purchase your own incredibusy salvaged speed loom* at the end of the day.

We suggest that you bring along with you, a sock, a jumper, or something with a small hole to repair and practice on.
