Finally, we can welcome master craftsman Kerstin Neumuller to Gothenburg!

Carve a band loom - Weave a band!

With her book "Simple weave - Weaving without a loom," Kerstin Neumüller wants to show that weaving neither has to be difficult nor bulky. During this course, she also demonstrates how you can make your weaving tools yourself with just a few tools! Here you will learn how to carve a band loom and then weave bands on it. The course is an excellent introduction to weaving and provides a good foundation if you want to continue with larger projects and tools later. Materials are included. The course is suitable for both beginners in carving and weaving and those with a bit more experience. Basic hand strength is a prerequisite to be able to carve a band loom.

Day one - Carving day

Kerstin shows her small band looms that look like girls, horses, and houses and tells how she started carving them. During the day, you will carve your own band loom under Kerstin's guidance.

Day two - Weaving day
How do you decide what pattern the band should have? We talk about the possibilities when weaving with a band loom and then weave. Use your newly carved band loom or borrow one from Kerstin! You will have time to try different band patterns and weave enough to take home some bookmarks or bracelets.

• When: December 6-7, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM and 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Colorwork knitting and steeking are two techniques that open up a world of possibilities in knitting. During this two-day course, you will dive into both areas while creating a small project bag – perfect for storing your small knitting accessories!

On day one, we focus on colorwork knitting. You will learn how to work with two colors simultaneously, manage yarns, and get other useful tips that enhance your knitting. Day two is all about steeking, cutting into our knitting. You will try two different ways to secure the knitting before taking out the scissors and be guided step by step through the process.

As a project during the weekend, we will work on a small bag where you get to try both techniques. By the end of the course, you will have – if not a completely finished – then an almost finished project bag that you can take home and start using.

Course leader:
Emelie Bröms, a dedicated knitter with a passion for colorwork knitting. Emelie regularly holds courses and workshops and collaborates with both Swedish and international knitting designers in their pattern production. On Instagram, @annaemeliemakes, she shares her beautiful creations, tips, and inspiration.

Prerequisites:
You need to have basic knitting skills. It is an advantage if you have tried knitting with two colors before, but it is not a requirement – we go through the techniques from the beginning.

What to bring:
Bring needles between 2.5-3.5 mm. We recommend circular needles, as we knit with magic loop, but if you prefer double-pointed needles, that is perfectly fine.

Shetland yarn is included so you can choose for your project in all beautiful colors and shades.

Two lunches at lilla Spinneriet and morning coffee are included.

Time and place:
We meet at the store 60 Garner Nord, at Spinneriet in Lindome:

Date: May 17-18, 2025

Times: Saturday 9:00 AM–4:00 PM and Sunday 10:00 AM–2:30 PM

Sweden's linen queen Karin Öberg is coming to the store to hold a course on knitting with linen yarn. We will try different techniques in pattern knitting with multiple colors as well as various surface patterns.

The course includes yarn and a booklet with pattern ideas. Of course, we also offer a morning coffee break. The only thing you need to bring is knitting needles in sizes 2.5, 3, and 3.5 (which can also be purchased in the store).

Karin will also bring some of her beautiful garments that we can try on.

There is an opportunity to knit in the store afterwards, and some special offers will be available!

If you wish, you can create a knitting weekend by also booking Braids and Other Useful Techniques, which takes place on Saturday, April 12th from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM with Pernilla Sätherström.

Warm welcome!

We warmly welcome you to an evening with the lecture - Color and Style! We offer sparkling wine and tasty snacks. Margareta Hallin will bring lots of inspiration and tips!

It is Margaretha Hallin who is behind the much appreciated Instagram account @50something which now has over 100,000 followers. There she inspires women to find their colors and their own style, simply to dare more!

We have all experienced that feeling of wearing a garment that looks so nice but still doesn’t feel quite right..... Then it is not impossible that it is the color that doesn’t feel right.

During the evening you will have the opportunity to learn more about cool and warm colors and also how their tones can help us avoid bad purchases. The "right" color can actually also give us better self-confidence because it highlights our own colors.

During the lecture you will learn how to identify your colors and pinpoint where you are in the color wheel. You will also get plenty of other tips on how to combine colors. In addition, you will receive several good style tips and also see how Margareta wears knitwear!

Several of Spinneriet’s stores will have evening openings with great offers!

This is sure to be a really lovely evening at Spinneriet Lindome so warmly welcome!

When: Wed May 7, 5:30 PM – 7:15 PM (admission from 5:00 PM)

Where: Studio Spinneriet, 3rd floor, Spinneriet in Lindome

Price: 479 SEK per person
