Join us for a 2-session workshop where you'll learn the joyful art of marling yarns!
TWO Sundays, November 8th AND 15th 5-7pm
Knit 1 team member, knitwear designer, and marling expert, Hannah of @_doinglaundry, will take you through two different techniques for creating beautiful, cohesive scrappy knits in this two session class.
Some scrap yarn will be provided, but this is the perfect excuse to dig deep into your stash for the beautiful bits, bobs, and half-skeins of yarn that you've been holding onto "just in case!"
Learn how to create gorgeous color palettes, blend textures, and combine different yarn weights for visual interest and one-of-a-kind finished projects!
What you'll learn in this class: Two different techniques for creating marled knits, how different combinations of yarn weights held together yield thicker yarn weights, how to build confidence in experimenting with yarn and color, how to build a color palette for your scrappy project
