Add a splash of colour to your knitting and learn the art of intarsia knitting.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll be guided step by step through the techniques needed to create vibrant, multi-coloured fabric without floats on the back. Using a fun and practical wrist warmer project, you’ll learn how to work with multiple yarns, manage colour changes, and achieve clean, professional-looking joins.

This workshop is perfect for knitters who are comfortable with basic knitting skills and are ready to explore colourwork beyond stripes. By the end of the session, you’ll have vibrant wrist warmers underway and the confidence to apply intarsia techniques to future projects.

You’ll learn the fundamentals of intarsia knitting, how to read and follow a simple colour chart, managing multiple yarns without tangling, and neat colour joins without holes and finishing tips.

Please bring to the workshop:

  • at least 4 different colours of DK yarn (approx. 50g of Main colour and approx 5g each of 3 contrast colours)
  • a pair of gauge size knitting needles
  • a ruler
  • scissors
  • pencil/pen
  • tapestry needle

This workshop is suitable for absolute beginners.
