IJ-hallen 2023
Summer in Ferrotopia: Ferrotopia x De Amsterdamse Steek
Knitting is craftmanship. A profession which you have to start at a young age and what, after a lot of kilometers of knitting, only gives a good thread tension. As a knit of every level you can enjoy your knitting and come to one of the tables to go to work yourself. The best knitters walk around that week to help or advise.
You can register for one or more of the organized activities or programs by sending an e-mail to [email protected]
