About this event

Join Knit & Knatter in repurposing old plastic bags for Climate Action Week!

Do you have lots of plastic bags flying around at home and don't know what to do with them? Bring them along to this event and breathe new life into them.

We will be cutting up old plastic bags and tying them back together to form plastic yarn. With this we will then be able to knit or crochet new more sturdy bags or little trinkets that will last a lifetime. Please bring your own plastic bags but refrain from buying new ones just for this event as we are trying to reduce their use and any further waste. All knitting needles and crochet hooks will be provided, no prior knowledge needed.
