Knitting FUNdamentals 2.5
Introduction to Stranded Colorwork

Learn how to knit stranded colorwork in this two session class.  Stranded colorwork is a knitting technique in which multiple (usually two) colors are used in a single row or round to create a pattern. Once you’ve mastered the basics with this sweet accessory, the sky is the limit for larger projects such as sweaters and cardigans with steeks. Plus, you will have just finished your first gift for the 2026 holiday season-in July!

In this class you will learn or enhance your skills with stranded colorwork, color dominance, catching floats and reading charts
