Apple Yarns In-Person Class - Knit a Knitted Knocker

Our Knit a Knitted Knocker class is a beautiful way to build  your knitting skills while giving back. Knitted Knockers are soft, comfortable knitted breast prostheses donated to women who have undergone mastectomies. Taught by an inspiring and knowledgeable instructor and limited to just six students, you'll receive plenty of personal attention and support. You'll learn new skills, connect with fellow makers, and leave with a finished project that makes a real difference. The support doesn't stop when class ends — the Apple Yarns team is always here during open hours to help you keep moving forward.

Our Most Asked Question: Why does Apple Yarns need to approve yarn for classes?

The right yarn makes a big difference in how successful and enjoyable your project will be. Our instructors select approved yarns that work especially well for the pattern and techniques being taught. If you'd like to use a different yarn, we're happy to take a quick look — our goal is simply to help you have the best experience possible.
