SETU Carlow library now has make and mend kits containing everything you need to mend or patch your clothes, available to borrow for library users. We also have a beautiful selection of cotton yarn and crochet hooks for anyone who wants to learn how to crochet.
Our make and mend book collection contains books to inspire you with detailed instructions on a variety of different mending methods and how to crochet for beginners and experienced stitchers alike. If you are a learner who prefers to watch than to read, this libguide contains links to free online resources to help you.
We are also hosting a weekly meeting Community of Practice (CoP) where SETU students and staff can learn, share skills and problem-solve together, using the mending or crochet kits available in the library, or bringing in their own mending or making projects and supplies. We will meet every Tuesday from 1pm-2pm, starting on October 21st 2025.
This is a SATLE funded project.
