Rainbow Crochet Sessions

Celebrate creativity, colour and community at Margaret River Library with our relaxed Rainbow Crochet Sessions this July

Supported by Margi Pride, these welcoming workshops are perfect for anyone keen to pick up a new skill or spend time crafting in good company. Whether you’ve never held a crochet hook before or already have some experience, local maker Nirala Hunt will be there to guide you through the basics and share helpful tips.

We’ll be working with bright, colourful yarn inspired by the LGBTIQA+ community and pride, creating a relaxed and inclusive space where everyone can feel comfortable to join in.

All materials are provided, along with light refreshments. Just bring yourself.

You’re welcome to attend one session or both.
