Step into The Old Butcher's Wine Cellar for something new — a cosy morning of knitting in one of Cookham's most atmospheric spaces.

This is Introduction to Knitting — the launch session of Purl & Pour, a new series of knitting workshops held at The Old Butcher's Wine Cellar in Cookham. Over three unhurried hours, you'll learn the fundamentals including casting on, the knit and purl stitch, how to increase and decrease stitches and casting off, building real confidence stitch by stitch in a warm, sociable setting.

No experience necessary — just curiosity and a willingness to slow down for a few hours.

What's Included:

Your very own Loop Kit — everything you need for the workshop

Premium KnitPro needles, yours to keep

Soft, quality yarn to work with

A "Handmade with Love" tag

A small, intimate group and a genuine chance to meet new people

Why knitting?

Beyond the finished piece, knitting is genuinely good for you. The repetitive, rhythmic movement has been linked to lower cortisol and a calm, focused, flow-like state — similar to meditation — with regular practice associated with longer-term brain health benefits. Consider it a reset for a busy mind.
