Discover the timeless beauty of Fair Isle knitting in this inspiring morning workshop.
Guided by expert tutor Monica Russel, you'll learn how to confidently change colours, achieve even tension, read charts, and work patterns on both straight and circular needles.
Through a series of practical samples, you'll build your skills step by step while exploring ways to incorporate Fair Isle designs into garments, scarves, snoods, and hats. You'll leave feeling confident, creative, and ready to start your own colour work projects.
This relaxed and friendly session is perfect for meeting like-minded makers and enjoying a creative morning together.
Plus, it's World Wide Knit in Public Day - so you're warmly welcome to stay on afterwards and enjoy the wider community event!
See more information for details of equipment required.
Suitable for: Confident knitters (able to knit and purl)
