Traditional Fair Isle knitting is a 2-colour stranded technique used to produce multi-coloured patterns. The patterns can be very simply in just 2 colours or with a number of different colours in both the background and foreground of the pattern.
During the workshop we will look at selecting colour schemes and how the appearance of the pattern can change depending on the colours and tones of colour used in the pattern. We will also look at knitting with a yarn in each hand and working in the round with Fair Isle.
To take part in this workshop, please make sure you can knit and purl confidently.
