£45.00

SATURDAY 27th JULY 2024 – 1:30pm – 4:30pm

Traditional Fair Isle Knitting looks stunning and is a joy to knit. This workshop, led by Julie Cowan, will teach you how to work 2 colours of yarn at the same time by holding one yarn in each hand. We will be working using the ‘magic loop’ method of working in the round which will be taught as we practice how to achieve the perfect ‘float’ and read charts.

Whether you aspire to knit traditional Nordic style garments/accessories or would just like to add another skill set to your knitting repertoire this would be the ideal way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
Included for this workshop is a Truro Wool Fairisle Neck Warmer pattern – a perfect first project.
