Coyle Studio is an independent knitwear brand founded by Izzy Coyle. With a focus on craftsmanship and conscious design, each piece is created in her Manchester-based studio using deadstock or locally sourced yarns. Her practise is a celebration of colour, process, and thoughtful making.
In the workshop we will cover: threading up the machine, casting on, knitting a row, adding in different colours, increasing + decreasing and casting off. We will then use all the skills you have just learnt to knit your own necktie in a colour of your choosing.
Youâll leave with a portfolio of samples showcasing the skills you have learnt, a finished necktie ready to wear and the foundations of machine knitting to build on further.
No need to bring anything with you - all equipment and materials will be provided. No previous knitting experience is required!
Start time: 10am
Workshop duration: 5-6 hours including a lunch break

Story Lens
Stories are everywhere. In our work, our lives, and the smallest moments we barely notice. Story lens is a series of relaxed, creative sessions exploring how to see the everyday a little differently, through the lens of story.
Together, weâll explore how to find stories in the everyday, shape them in your own way, and share them so they connect. Come curious, leave seeing with fresh eyes.
Who is it for
Itâs open to anyone curious about the small moments that make life meaningful. No experience needed, just an open mind and a notebook.
Book onto the next two sessions to carry on the workshops!
