Start a crochet project using selvedge waste from the textile finishing industry!
This workshop focuses on the circular economy and material reclamation. Participants will collaborate to salvage high-quality industrial waste from bulk bundles, exploring colour composition and the fundamentals of crochet using large-scale hooks or manual finger-weaving techniques. The session aims to produce a small-scale rug or an aerial yoga loop for final completion.
This workshop is hosted as part of the official Sustainability Week Zurich 2026 programme.
