Explore cable-knitting techniques through hands-on swatches and discover the symbolism of Irish Aran stitch patterns. You must know how to knit and purl to fully participate.

Unravel the enchanting symbolism of Aran knitting—like twisted cables evoking fishermen's sturdy ropes and honeycomb patterns honoring hardworking bees—all woven into Ireland's rich history and folklore. 

Space and supplies are limited. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
