Threads

Threads returns to Culture House Sunderland on Tuesday 3 November, from 1pm to 3pm. It's a social, self-help group that works with yarn and fabric through a variety of textile techniques, including knitting, crochet, rag-rug and hand sewing. The session is presented by Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens and hosted in The Inventors Lab, within Culture House.

It's set up as a free adult drop-in activity for over-16s, and there's no booking required, so you can just turn up. The group meets monthly, which means you can work on your own individual projects, share skills with others, and have a chat while you're at it. If you've got a half-finished jumper or a scrap of fabric you've been meaning to do something with, it's the kind of place to bring it along and get it sorted.

Because it's a monthly thing, it's more of a regular fixture than a one-off. This session on 3 November is part of a run that continues through the winter and into early spring, with further dates on 2 December, 5 January, 2 February and 2 March. If you can't make this one, there are plenty more to follow.

It's free to attend, and it runs from 1pm to 3pm at Culture House Sunderland, in The Inventors Lab.
