YKWU (You can Knit With Us) with Sabrina Walker

​ABOUT YKWU KNITTING CLUB

​​YKWU (You Can Knit With Us) is Colèchi’s very own knitting club that started as a way to encourage people take part in the art of producing fashion through knitting; and to change generic preconceived ideas of who knits.

​​YKWU collaborates with knitwear designers, yarn producers and educators and the curious via a learning platform. Sessions are held on the last Sunday of each month at The Lab E20 in Stratford, East London.

​Patterns from the session are shared to our YKWU substack.

​ABOUT THIS SESSION

​So far this year, we've made yarn from t-shirts and crocheted using rope.

​Now, we're going back to knitting with help from Sabrina Walker, a London-based knitwear designer who specialises in both hand and machine knitting.

​Since graduating from CSM, she has worked freelance to hand knitted several show pieces for JW Anderson and now works in the knitwear design team at Stella McCartney. Sabrina loves graphic knitwear but understands this can be time consuming, so for this session she will show us how to fake a jacquard knit.
