Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the classes that Saga Hill would have held during 2020 have been either cancelled or postponed. We may be offering virtual classes this fall, so keep in touch here and follow us on Facebook for updates.
In the meantime, Thank You for supporting artists and small businesses in whatever way you can during this trying time. And remember, Saga Hill is open online 24/7!

If you don't see a class that interests you, some of my previously taught classes include: Swedish Knitting Heritage classes, such as Lovikka Mitten Knitting; Tvåändstickning (Two-Ended/Twined Knitting); and Halland/Binge Knitting. Other knitting classes I offer are: Knit a Cozy Nordic Cabled Cowl – a beginning cable class; Vintage Lace Knitting; Beginning Knitting; Modular Knitting; Knitting Fair Isle Patterns; Beginning Mitten Knitting; among others.
Among my spinning classes are: Beginning Spinning with Spindle & Wheel; Spinning Short Fibers; Silk Spinning; Flax Spinning; Spinning Camelid Fibers; and Fiber Processing.
If one of these sparks your interest (or a class on another subject), please let me know. Advance interest helps establish future classes.

I also privately teach spinning and knitting to individuals or small groups – although due to COVID-19, I am currently not scheduling any in-person private classes. Please contact me by email for more info or to discuss the possibility of a future private class.
