Workshop host Auristela da Silva

At Ackerman we organize a lot of different workshops. One of our regular workshop hosts is Auristela da Silva. Her favorite Ackerman products are the Hoooked crochet yarns. She uses these to create incredible decorative and fashionable items. Auri has created her own line of hand bags using Hoooked t-shirt yarn.

The Hoooked Zpagetti yarn we sell at Ackerman is colorful, easy to use and made of strong and stretchy cotton. That’s not even the best part… They are made from 100% upcycled t-shirts.

Would you like to try and crochet your own personalized item? We have lots of different do it yourself patterns available at the store to choose from. You could sign-up for one of our Hoooked workshops! Follow our Facebook page or sign-up for our monthly newsletter to stay up-to-date on our upcoming workshops.

Here are some examples of Auri’s and participants’ creations using felt during the Ackerman workshops:
