Workshop 2: Full On Fair Isle

Get full on with Fair Isle in this intensive workshop with Pru Raymond. Learn to slice your knitting open like a pro, and add bands and cuffs. Develop techniques to make your colourwork stitches pop, and your floats so beautiful, you’ll want to wear your sweaters inside out. You will leave with a new level of confidence to knit any Fair Isle / stranded colourwork pattern.

Materials Required

• 4 mm 80cm circular knitting needle or DPNs
• 2 x 50g balls of 8ply/DK yarn in solid/ semi solid colours with a high contrast (ie. one white/ very light coloured yarn and one or mid- dark coloured yarn)
• Notions: wool needle, stitch markers, scissors.

Skill Level

This class is designed for knitters to improve and extend their stranded colourwork
skills to include better yarn management strategies, consistent colour dominance,
catching floats (how, why and when), and steeking (‘unfinished’ method).
