Grades Offered
Learners will be expected to purchase yarn & a crochet hook before the start of the first class. * your yarn should be what is called "worsted weight" and should be a solid light or bright color (black is especially not recommended as it is hard to learn on); acrylic yarn tends to be best to learn on * crochet hook should be 5mm or US size H/8 * sharp scissors for cutting the yarn * a blunt yarn, tapestry or darning needle
Crochet involves the use of a blunt yarn needle and sharp scissors. By signing their learners up for this class guardians are giving their approval for their learners to use these items for this class.
