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. Gudrun will also help you pick out shades of Jamieson's Shetland wool for your next stranded project!

Materials: 6 balls of Jamieson's of Shetland Spindrift (Kit included with class fee, needles not included) You cannot pick your colors, but more colors will be available to purchase.

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, scissors.
