About Discover Knit and Crochet Classes

Following is an outline of the Discover courses being offered at Michaels stores. Specific class offerings and availability may vary by store. See your local store for a complete schedule. Each class is 2½- hours in length and includes a visit to the yarn department to discuss yarns and accessories to make your knitting and crocheting experience more enjoyable.

Discover teachers are students and graduates of the Craft Yarn Council’s Certified Instructors Program. Many have taught extensively, but all share a love of knitting and crocheting.

Each class listing explains what will be covered as well as any prerequisites for the class. Please check back regularly as class offerings will change.
