Traditional Estonian Glove Knitting Course on July 3-9, 2023
During this course you will get to know all the secrets of Estonian traditional glove knitting. You will be using 5 double-pointed needles size 0 (2 mm) and local yarn called 8/2. During the first day we will browse through all the different options for the cuff and every participant will select a pattern. We will also stop at the yarn wonderland and select the shades for your new pair of gloves. During the next few days we will knit through all the stages of an actual glove.
The course will last for 7 days and 6 nights. This should be enough for an eager student to be able to finish one glove with all the instructions and support from a master knitter.
Saturday is a tour day. We will visit several farm houses, which participate in the Seto Open Crafting Farm House Days. You will see the beautiful Setoland and its rural life. You will experience the authentic Seto culture, farm houses and friendly people.
