Using a customised wooden Spool we create a beautiful wire French Knitted tubular bracelet in a day, adding beads into the tube as we go.

Many of you may remember learning this technique as a child, with rainbow wool perhaps?! Some other names for it are Knitting Nancy, Spool Knitting, Corking - ‘Tricotin’ in France and ‘Strick Liesel’ in Germany.

I de-mystify this ancient and intriguing technique to bring it right up to date using silver coloured wire and pearlescent beads.

Sharing my tricks and tips to help you - and a technique perfected from years of practice.

We cover the following skills on the day:

- selecting the correct wire

- how to cast on and work stitches using your spool

- how to add beads into the centre of the knitting

- how to fasten off and add a clasp or ear hooks

If time allows we will go on to start an earring project using small seed beads to make earrings - working the beads into individual stitches.

"Teri’s course was really amazing. I loved it so much I booked another one straight away. Her jewellery is exquisite and it’s so inspiring to be taught by somebody so talented. Add to that her patience and intuitive ability to know where you’re trying to go with your project and you’ve got a wonderful teacher who will give you lifelong skills to make fabulous projects."
