Open for everyone – The Crafting Community meets once a month in autumn 2025 at the Lippulaiva Library Makerspace.

At the event, we knit, crochet, and sew together. Each session includes a tip for an easy craft. You’ll also find a display of the library’s craft books. Bring your own project with you.

If needed, participants can help each other, and volunteers will be present to assist with techniques or understanding patterns.

During the event, you can use the Solmu Sewing Room’s sewing machines for your own projects. You can also use the library’s crochet hooks, knitting needles, and recycled yarn.
