In this class you will have the option of learning to crochet either a small rug, or a bag/basket with handles, using alpaca rug yarn and a large crochet hook. Alpaca rug yarn is a very bulky yarn made from alpaca fiber wrapped around a spun alpaca yarn core, which gives it added durability. With a very large hook, crocheting goes quickly, and most will finish during the allotted two hour class time.
The fee includes approximately 85 yards of rug yarn, enough to make a round rug approximately 24" across. Additional yardage can be purchased, if you find you'd like to make a bigger rug. Alpaca rugs are super squishy and soft, especially when stepping on in your bare feet.
If you opt to make the bag/basket, these will measure approximately 10" high, and about the same across the round base. Bags are great for knitting projects, magazines, yarn storage, and more.
We will be using only a few simple stitches, so beginning crocheters are welcome!
You will need a Size S or Size U Crochet Hook. Bring your own, or select the Class Fee, Rug Yarn, Hook option when checking out, and I will have one for you when you come for class. Rug yarn colors can be chosen on day of class.
