Class Details:

We all have skeins of variegated yarn that we buy because they catch our eye... the worst thing is that it’s not easy to use this type of yarn for all types of stitches or work. In this class, we’ll learn how to make the most of that skein you’ve got languishing on your shelf and don’t know what to do with. You'll learn:
•About the different types of variegated yarn and their effects.
•Different types of techniques and stitches to make the most of a variegated yarn.
•Special effects tips and tricks.
Together we'll make experimental samples with different techniques—you’ll be amazed at the end results!

Technique Requirements: knit, purl, cast on, bind off, lace

None
