Stranded color work is a heritage knitting technique used by knitters from many traditions. It is a simple technique which yields impressive results. Use two colors or many; the choice is yours. This is an intermediate class which will focus on aspects of a color work yoke sweater and assumes the knitter can finish the rest of the sweater on their own. We will take a deep dive into: yarn selection: how to choose colors and type of yarn, pattern choice, swatching to practice tension and color placement, yarn management- we will learn three ways of carry yarn to produce even floats. We will also learn steeking by turning our swatch into a mug rug. There will be knitting "homework" between the classes. Fell free to contact me if you have questions about the class.
