Classes
A Taste of Fair Isle with Gudrun Johnston
Saturday February 8th 1:30-4:40 In this 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. You can be a beginner or seasoned colorwork knitter. Class kit included in registration includes 6 balls of Shetland Spindrift by Jamieson's of Shetland, and a muslin project bag. You’ll need US 4 (3.5 mm) or US 3 (3.25 mm) 24-inch circular needle (if you are a loose knitter use the smaller size needle), 2 stitch markers, and scissors
