Recap | Intro to Darning Workshop
Intro to Darning Workshop with Maya Skylark, Maker & Mender
In July, Misha & Puff hosted Maya Skylar, maker and mender, to teach an introductory workshop on darning at our Newburyport store.
Darning is the skill or activity of mending a hole in knitted material by interweaving yarn — an obvious topic of interest for Misha & Puff/wool enthusiasts alike. Community members and Misha & Puff employees were eager to join in on the workshop, and were instructed to bring a holey garment or object with them to learn how to repair. We had such a lovely and informative time gathering with Maya.
Here’s a few pics from the evening.
Maya Skylark (Critchfield) is a writer, textile artist, and educator living and working in southern Maine. She works with found and damaged clothing and textiles to explore care, repair, and material value. Her work often centers around storytelling through these repaired objects and concepts of home.
