Looking for a cozy fall or winter activity in Cary, NC that’s a little different from your usual night out? Trade the paintbrush for some seriously soft yarn at a Chunky Knit Blanket Workshop at Painting with a Twist Cary!
Our chunky knit blanket workshops are one of our favorite ways to get creative during the cooler months — and they’re especially perfect if painting just isn’t your thing. You’ll leave with a cozy blanket you made completely by hand, plus a new skill you can actually use again at home.
No Knitting Experience? No Problem!
Despite the name, you don’t need to know how to knit to make your own chunky blanket. In fact, you don’t even need knitting needles!
Our DIY chunky knit blankets are made entirely by hand, and our artists will walk you through the process step by step. No previous knitting or crafting experience is necessary. Once you get the hang of the technique, the process becomes repetitive, easy to follow, and surprisingly relaxing.
It’s the kind of project where you can keep your hands busy without having to concentrate on every little detail.
Pick Your Own Colors
The best part of making your own blanket? You get to make it fit your style.
Choose your yarn color to create a blanket that works with your home, bedroom, or favorite cozy space. Want a little more variety? You can choose up to two colors for your blanket and create a combination that’s completely your own.
Whether you go neutral and classic, colorful and bold, or somewhere in between, you’ll leave with a handmade blanket you’ll actually want to use all fall and winter.
One of Our Best Classes for Catching Up
If you’re looking for an activity where you can actually talk to the people you came with, this might be our best one.
Because chunky knitting becomes repetitive once you learn the technique, there’s plenty of time to chat while you work. It makes these workshops perfect for a girls’ night, date night, mother-daughter activity, friend get-together, or just an excuse to catch up with someone you haven’t seen in a while.
You still get the fun of doing something creative together, but you don’t have to spend the entire class concentrating on your project.
Make It Even Cozier With a Candle
Want to fully embrace cozy season? Add a DIY candle to your chunky knit blanket experience!
Choose your favorite scent, pour your own candle, and then work on your blanket while it cures. At the end of the event, you can head home with two cozy creations: a soft handmade blanket and a candle ready for your next night in.
Blanket + candle + your favorite people? That’s pretty hard to beat for a fall or winter night.
