The Woolly Badger | Knitting - de-scarying colourwork

Colourwork is many a knitters' nemesis. But it needn't be; it's nowhere near as scary as you might think.

In this 90 minute workshop we'll cover all you need to know to get going with colourwork knitting. We'll talk about:

The difference between intarsia, mosaic knitting, and stranded knitting
How to pick a yarn (because some yarns are way easier to work with than others when it comes to colourwork)
How to pick a colour palette
Those tricky-sounding things like floats, colour dominance, and tension
How to do the actual knitting

The workshop features demonstrations…

What you will learn

Mosaic knitting
Intarsia knitting
Stranded colourwork knitting

What you will need

Just bring yourself, and maybe a pen.

What kind of knitting experience do I need?

This class is best suited to advanced beginners and intermediate knitters. It's aimed at those who already know the basics of how to make a garment or accessory, and want to learn how to make even fancier things by learning some colourwork.
