Knit Stars Masterclass with Yumiko Workshop: Working with Plant Based Fibers

Yumiko’s workshop is a gentle and inspiring guide to working with plant fibers and shaping them into beautiful, wearable garments. She teaches how cotton, linen, and silk behave differently from wool and how to adapt patterns so the finished piece drapes, stretches, and fits the way you want. Through her Horizon Top and a wide range of rectangle-based designs, she shows how simple shapes can transform into elegant garments with just a few thoughtful adjustments. Along the way, she offers practical tips for swatching, blocking, sizing, yarn selection, and styling so knitters feel confident working with warm-weather fibers. By the end, you will see rectangles as a creative playground and plant fibers as a joyful, versatile addition to your knitting toolbox.
