Fiber, Tips & Techniques
Class Details:
Learn to love linen. It’s a great fiber to wear, but there are a few tricks to knitting with it. The focus will be on great stitches, including variants on dropped stitches, extended stitches, and modern bold lace that show linen to its best advantage. Washing, blocking, and the importance of swatches are key topics as well.
Technique Requirements: Knit/purl; cast on/bind off; increase/decrease; cables; chart reading; beginner lace
Homework:
Wind yarn into balls so it is ready to knit with. I recommend hand-winding into a round ball.
Supplies for Class:
One skein Quince and Co Sparrow or another sport- to DK- weight 100% linen yarn. One skein Quince and Co Kestral or another flat tape yarn. (I don't think there are any 100% linen alternatives.) Needles ranging from US size 3 through 9.
