COLOUR BLENDING WORKSHOP FOR STRANDED KNITTING AND FAIR ISLE PROJECTS.

Do you have a Fair Isle knitting project, but are not sure how to choose your colours?

Do you like stranded knitting projects but you don’t like the colour choices in the pattern decided by the designer? 

Then this, ‘Colour Blending for stranded knits workshop’ will help you.

The workshop is a two hour fun, interactive, creative session to experiment with coloured yarn in order to gain the skills to successfully and confidently choose colours for your own future stranded knitting projects. I will teach you to see the saturation of colour, tone and contrast in order to blend your colours and make them pop. We will be using a traditional Shetland tree and star motif to understand how the colours move through the motifs and you will receive the Sea Urchin hat pattern to work with afterwards.

EACH WORKSHOP IS FOR A SMALL GROUP OF 6 PEOPLE

You will be able to ask lots of questions, join in fully and have attention.

This workshop is for anyone who can knit and loves colourful knitting.  It is not a knitting workshop, but a skills-based workshop to enable you to confidently choose the perfect colours for your own Fair Isle and stranded knitting projects going forwards.

Experience Level – Anyone who can knit including beginners, who want to experiment with and understand colours more, can attend this session. The workshop is based around my Sea Urchin Hat pattern (in image above). You will receive this pattern free with each booking This is a great pattern to practice colour blending techniques and principles after the workshop

For the session, you will be asked to bring yarn to your table for the workshop. You can look at your own stash of yarn and I will teach you how to get the best out of colours for your stranded colour work projects.   

At this online workshop, you will learn: –
• How to see colour / tone / contrast
• How to blend colours in your knitting to create a harmonious
pattern.
• How to see what you can see and what you cannot
immediately see in a colour blended motif.
• How to get excited about colour and not frightened and how to confidently choose colours for your own projects rather than use those chosen by the designer.
• If you love colour and textiles, you will enjoy the opportunity for experimentation
