Hands knitting with yarn

Come along to a knitting club where you're sure to have sew much fun!

 

Looking for something new to try this year? Do you have a project sitting around waiting to be completed? Then explore YKWU, Colèchi's very own knitting club that launched at the Tate Britain in January 2022. 

You will be provided with colourful yarn and threads that have been donated and rescued. Feel free to bring any of your own materials and the projects that you might have already started.

This workshop is open to people of different capabilities, so whether you are a knitting connoiseur, or you've only just purchased your tools, come along and enjoy yourself!

A DJ will be spinning tunes as you craft your creations! With your golden ticket, you will also receive a delicious drink. Join the vibe and create something old and new!

Meet Colèchi

YKWU was set up to weave the individual into the community by democratising the fashion world and de-stigmatising knitting culture. 

Colèchi is a fashion research agency working with brands, government and education to co-create projects and activations in collaboration with their communities.

Each session emphasises skill sharing, multigeneration learning and making new connections.

YKWU collaborates with knitwear designers, yarn producers and educators to allow an explorative reconnection with traditional clothes making.

‘Very Satisfied – exceeded expectations – beautiful space, very well organised dynamic group of facilitators and lovely participants.‘
