Saturday, November 16th, 2 - 5 pm with Shetland-born designer Gudrun Johnston
In this fun, colorful class, we will dip our toes into the world of Fair Isle knitting! We will look at choosing colors, color dominance, stranding the yarn, speed swatching in the round, and we will even do some steeking (cutting into our knitting)! We will be working with a tried-and-true product, 100% Shetland yarn, traditionally used for Fair Isle knitting. This class is intended as an introduction to Shetland wool and its suitability to stranded knitting. A kit of six balls of Jamieson's of Shetland Spindrift yarn is included. Please bring a US 4 / 3.5mm or US 3 / 3.25mm 24-inch circular needle (if you are a loose knitter use the smaller size needle), 2 Stitch markers, and scissors.
