Intro to Stranded Colorwork (Registration on website required)

Register on our website.

In this class, you will learn essential techniques for stranded colorwork, commonly known as Fair Isle knitting. You will start with a simple pattern that emphasizes perfecting float tension—the strands of yarn that lie behind the stitches. As you progress, you'll have the opportunity to work on a more intricate design and create your own two-color pattern. By the end of the session, you'll be on your way to creating a two-color scrunchie that you can proudly wear or gift to someone special!
