From our Italian partners
The old craft club begins its activities. Today our students have had the possibility to make a little journey into the past, to discover the crochet and everything that is possible to create with a crochet and a wool yarn.
The old that marries the modern, to make rediscover our students, who have never seen crochet hooks, how an activity carried out by their grandmothers and maybe great grandmothers can be rediscovered and pursued by them too.
Thanks to the contribution of Michele and the skillful Daniela, the former with his childhood knowledge of yarns and their history, the latter as a great crochet teacher, our students have learned the path that wool makes to become a ball of yarn and how from this, through a tool like the crochet hook, it turns into many wonders: socks, shawls, blankets and even bags... right there in front of them.
Intrigued by Michele’s story, eager to make, attracted by the colors and softness of the yarns, amazed by the small hook-shaped tool, the small audience also experienced the chance to use a crochet hook and to make with it a long chain.
Satisfied with their creations, turned into necklaces and bracelets and with great treasures in their hands, such as small balls of colored wool obtained from larger balls of yarn offered by our friend Michele, the students made the wish to try again and to learn how to use this small but wonderful tool. Who knows... what else our long journey through tradition and the rediscovery of that know-how of the past will give us... we are ready to find it out together.
