Date & time: SUN 12 APR 2026 - 1pm - 4pm

Get full on with Fair Isle with Pru Raymond. Develop techniques to make your colourwork stitches pop, and your floats so beautiful, you’ll want to wear your jumpers inside out. Learn to slice your knitting open like a pro, and add bands and cuffs. Leave with a new level of confidence to cast on more advanced Stranded Colourwork projects.

Materials required:

• Needles: 4 mm circular knitting needle with 80cm circumference for Magic Loop OR DPNs
• Yarn: 2 x 50g balls of 8ply/DK non-superwash yarn in solid/ semi solid colours with a high contrast (ie. one white/ very light coloured yarn and one or mid- dark coloured yarn)

Skill level description:

This class is designed for knitters to improve and extend their Stranded Colourwork skills to include better yarn management strategies, consistent colour dominance, catching floats (how, why and when), and steeking (‘unfinished’ method). Experience of Magic Loop recommended but not essential.
