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…

Brilliant class, I’d never done any colourwork but by the end of this workshop felt really confident to give it a try, already started my first project! Jacki is wonderful, really knowledgeable but very down to earth and super friendly. Definitely de-scarified colour work for me!
