Join us this Autumn for a special edition of YKWU in collaboration with second-hand fashion brand Traid. These intimate sessions will take place on the last Saturday of every month at the Traid store in Shepherds Bush from 12-3pm.
Every session invites a young emerging designer to demonstrate how to knit or crochet clothes and accessories from second hand materials including textiles and vintage yarn.
These sessions are limited to twelve spaces and on a first come, first served basis, so please book your FREE ticket early to ensure your spot.
about YKWU
You Can Knit With Us (YKWU) is Colèchi’s very own knitting club that started as a way to encourage people take part in the art of producing fashion through knitting; and to change generic preconceived ideas of who knits. YKWU collaborates with knitwear designers, yarn producers and educators to allow an explorative reconnection with traditional clothes making.
about Traid
Traid is a charity retailer offering an alternative to buying new clothes with locations across London. As a pioneer in collecting, sorting, and selling second-hand clothes, Traid’s aim is to progress the concept of reuse so that it becomes the first choice for as many people as possible.
about the designer
Natalia Reda is a London-based designer who fell head over heels for the world of knitwear through her adventures at our knitting club. Natalia learned the magic of crafting with yarn and stitching dreams into reality while working with discontinued and thrifted yarn. It’s a conscious choice for her, not just for the uniqueness it brings to each piece but also for the planet. She is also the founder of Reda Knitwear and her pieces are all about embracing individuality and expressing yourself with a pop of colour one stitch at a time!
