Skills You’ll Learn
Have you heard of sock neck crafts?
A round, ring-shaped piece of fiber that is cut at the end of the sock manufacturing process is called a sock neck. Hosiery wood didn't find any use before it was used as a material for crafts, so most of them were classified as industrial waste and incinerated.
There were many serious environmental problems due to the cost of incineration treatment, environmental hormones and harmful substances emitted during incineration, but with the development of sock wood crafts, they are no longer incinerated, and they have become an important material for crafts.
Since it is an upcycled material, it has the disadvantage of not being able to choose a color or material, but the appeal of sock wood crafts is that it creates a one-of-a-kind work in the world.

Finger knitting made with just your fingers
You don't need any tools. It is a craft of making works by knitting with just your fingers. The principles are simple enough to be learned without difficulty even for those who have given up on basic hand knitting. By applying a few techniques, you can create a finished product with a different feel for each piece due to the unique color of the sock neck. If knitting is knitted with a single connected thread, a sock neck is a method of knitting while weaving each loop one by one.
Because the thickness is very thick compared to the knitting thread The big advantage is that the completion speed is fastIt's. In the case of the round cushion in the curriculum, even a beginner can complete it in about 2 hours.
It's easy to work by changing colors compared to knitting, and even if you make a mistake by putting your nose in the wrong way, you won't feel much damage to the work, so it's also great for beginners, and it's also rapidly gaining popularity as a prevention of dementia among dark-eyed and struggling senior adults.
What kind of work will you complete?
1) Round cushion with a lace-like edge (round diameter 44 to 45 cm)
It's time to lay the groundwork for the first time. While learning how to look at a simple pattern and basic techniques, I will complete it by weaving a variety of socks. You can create a warm atmosphere with just one emotional cushion that can be placed on the floor when guests come.
2) Basket for organizing small items (18 cm in diameter x 12 cm in height)
It is a basket that can hold small items, making it a practical household accessory.
The tumbler lanyard is included in the premium kit only.
3) Tumbler bag (9 to 10 cm in diameter x 16 cm in height)
It's great to carry around in the tumbler you usually carry around, and it's also great to put in a 500 bottle of water in advance. Carrying a tumbler itself uses fewer disposable items, so it would be a small effort to double as a global environmental saver. I only use crochet when making a tumbler to make it cool.
4) Wrap it up with tissue paper and put on a tissue cover (15 cm in diameter x 13 cm in height)
You will learn donut techniques, and at the end you will also learn how to reduce your nose. Try putting clothes on a roll of tissue that just rolls around and doesn't want it to unravel.
5) Sentimental accessories flower sock neck wreath (inner diameter 15cm, outer diameter 20cm)
It is a flowerless maker that can add an accent to a wall or an empty door. It's time to learn how to tie knots. The color is knitted using a white color and finished using preserved flowers as a point.
6) Rectangular stripe foot mat (width 60 cm x height 38 cm)
It is a foot mat that can be placed at the entrance of the front door or the entrance to the veranda. Learn techniques for making squares. After class, you can make enough of it in the size you want, so you can also try making a sofa pad by making enough large mats.
7) Your own teddy bear (23cm x height 23cm)
This is an advanced doll-making class based on all the techniques and experiences learned in the previous session. This is a great value puppet class where you can make a pretty, prop doll of a very large size in 3 to 4 hours.
8) Bonus: gift heart candy bag (11×11cm)
The most important part of preparing for the class was “Let's be able to continue working on my own even after taking my class.” I will tell you as much detail as possible so that you can create as many beautiful works as you like on your own. Let's level up your socks crafting skills step by step while creating colorful and beautiful works.

Working as a sock woodworking artist & doing gardening & crafts at Gamseong Weaving Art Center
I'm Park Hye-sung, artist at Dreaming Art Center.
Sock woodworking is an upcycling craft that was first developed in Korea. It's a new craft that started about 2 years ago, and it's a very popular craft.
It will be a class where you can share basic techniques as well as new knitting techniques.
All the works created are composed of emotional props and daily necessities that can be fully used in daily life.
Also, I devise my own pattern and work on doll designs made from sock necks. By doing so, I can show you how to make it more specific and easier. We also sell socks and wood materials, so after learning about them, we can fully help you when it comes to materials. I'll show you a great class!! ^^
