Macknit Variety Day 2026
About
A variety of techniques will be demonstrated at this informative event by our presenters:
Angie Gullo: “Finishing, Techniques and Nice Effects made simply”. Lots of tips for achieving patterning using a manual machine as well as advice on finishing garments and fabric.
Angie will be using an LK150 for her demonstration.
Fay Butcher: “How To use Dress Yarns”.
Have you wondered how yarns such as Boucle, Crepe, Neplon can be made into interesting and durable fabrics? Perhaps you acquired some second hand and have no idea what to do with it, or perhaps you would like some new inspiration to see how techniques can be used and adapted.
Fay will be demonstrating on a Passap machine, which will be very interesting for those that have not had an opportunity to see one in action.
