Our Socks with Magic Loop class is designed to help you learn with confidence in a warm, welcoming environment. Using the Magic Loop technique (from the book by Bev Galaskas), you'll knit a full pair of cuff-down socks guided by an inspiring and knowledgeable instructor. The class is limited to just six students so you receive plenty of personal attention and support. You'll learn new skills, connect with fellow makers, and walk away with the skills to knit socks for life. The support doesn't stop when class ends — the Apple Yarns team is always here during open hours to help you keep moving forward.
