Ugh! Why would you ever do a swatch? Well...there are lots of reasons to do swatches for your projects, especially those that are going to be on your body or someone elses to ensure it fits! And swatches can be used for lots of fun things, use it as a pocket on your next sweater or sew it together and create a notion pouch.

This workshop will walk you through creating a crochet swatch. We will talk about:

  • how the swatch can help you determine how much yarn you will need
  • review the different types of fabric created
  • determine color patterns and coordination when applicable

Heather will walk you through creating your swatch for your next big project. If you have a pattern ready to go, make sure to bring it with you! And if you don't have a pattern to create, we will create a swatch based on the yarn and tools you bring.

Heather learned to crochet and sew as a young child. Her sewing stuck with her for years and then she picked up some knitting needles over 15 years ago never looking back. She eventually went back to her roots and started to crochet again. And as she has been falling down the fiber arts rabbit hole, she also enjoys spinning and weaving. Heather has coached youth sports since she was a youth and enjoys passing along her knowledge to help others take their interests to the next step. If you enjoy learning and laughing, you will definitely enjoy spending time at the table with Heather picking up a new skill.
