Yarn Wrapped Bowls
Discover the calming, creative craft of making rope bowls using a fully hand-led technique. In this one-day workshop, you’ll learn how to wrap cotton yarn around rope by hand and secure it with simple hand stitching to create beautifully textured, organic and functional pieces.

You will explore how to craft flat shapes such as coasters and placemats and how to build these into elegant 3D forms including bowls, baskets and even waste‑paper bins. This slow, mindful process requires no sewing machine—just simple materials and hand techniques.
