The Textiles Knitting Machine Badge will teach participants Health and Safety relating to, and effective use of the SilverReed SK280 standard guage single- and double-bed knitting machines.

Participants will learn how to thread the machine, cast on, knit a tension swatch, change yarn colours, drop stitches, correct dropped stitches, knit a pattern using a punch card, and cast off. 

Participants are required to wear enclosed footwear and tie back long hair. 

To book an induction time, if none are available, see staff in Textiles Studio in room F102 or email artdesigntextiles@unsw.edu.au
