Introduction to Broomstick, Hairpin, and Tunisian Crochet
To arrange a workshop, demonstration or a personal tuition session, please contact me direct on eaglerider 1@hotmail.com.
You can borrow or buy tools, or bring your own if you have them.
I teach both left and righthanded people.
A selection of yarns will be supplied, but again you can bring your own.
I provide my own detailed handouts to accompany the tuition, together with a selection of beginners patterns.
You can also bring in your own patterns, as I am happy to troubleshoot, or give advice if needed.
For Broomstick Crochet you will need:-
A “Broomstick” will be available. You can bring your own if you have one, anything with a consistent diameter above 20mm will do.
A crochet hook consistent with the yarn you are using, eg 3.5mm for DK or 5mm for Aran. (Or whatever hook you normally use to acquire standard tension)
For hairpin Crochet you will need:-
A “hairpin” frame at least 5cm wide. I supply adjustable frames to borrow or buy.
A hook consistent with the yarn you are using eg 3.5mm for DK or 5mm for Aran.
For Tunisian crochet you will need:-
A Tunisian hook at least 2 sizes larger than you would use for standard crochet. For example, for DK yarn use a 5.5mm hook.
All tools available to borrow or to purchase if wished. Yarns and handouts supplied.
I look forward to meeting you!
things i do
I have always been endlessly fascinated with patterns and textures.
So I tend to explore these, and processes which allow me to focus on them.
For the moment I am concentrating on working with textiles.

I like to spin my own yarns for use in my work, expecially wallhangings
