Fairisle Workshop

About

Sunday 3 November I 10am - 4pm

Knit Nottingham, city centre

Tickets: £85pp

Welcome to Knit Nottingham's Fairisle/ Stranded knitting/ Colourwork knitting Workshop - whichever you'd like to call it. This is a full day session (10am - 4pm with a 45 minute break for lunch). 

'We will begin making a small pouch (suitable for a small gift, a pair of handknitted socks, a lavender pouch). I'll talk you through the history of Fairisle and how it differs from other types of colourwork knitting such as Jacquard'.

You should already be confident with knitting and know how to cast on, knit (preferably in the round) and cast off. This workshop is for an advanced beginner/ intermediate knitter. 

A selection of yarn will be provided on the day so you can choose which colours you'd like to use - a mixture of wools and wool blends which tend to work best for colourwork. If you are a vegan or sensitive to wools please let Hannah know and she will discuss in advance your best options.

There's also added an option to purchase discounted needles for the lesson. You'll need 20cm, 2.5mm circular needles (or dpns if you'd prefer) so if you've got these, great and if you haven't just click that option. There will be a pattern and informational leaflet to take home on the day. Teas, coffees and snacks will also be provided, if you have any dietary requirements - like non-cows milk - please let Hannah know beforehand.

Any questions welcome!
