How it compares
- Beginner-friendly

At $175, this sits toward the low end of the 13 multi-week textiles courses we list in New York. They run from $75 to $450, and the typical price is $225.
Not ready to commit to a course? 15 studios offer one-time textiles classes from $15, a cheaper way to find out if you like it.
It starts after work, which only 18% of the textiles classes on our calendar do.

New to textiles?
Textile classes range from weaving on a frame or rigid-heddle loom to embroidery, knitting, crochet, natural dyeing, felting and sewing a first garment.
- Check whether the class is for complete beginners or assumes you can already cast on or thread a machine.
- Single sessions usually make something small: a wall hanging, a hoop, a dyed scarf.
- Bring reading glasses if you use them; most fibre work is close-up.
Taking it home: Usually the same day. Larger pieces may be finished at home with the yarn or thread you leave with.
