Introduction to Intarsia Workshop

The workshop will include an introduction to the technique, how to read intarsia charts, and knitting up your own sample of intarsia using charts designed for the session, inspired by Museum of the Home.

We will have time to look at examples of intarsia used in garments and finished objects, and talk through the ways this technique could be used in your future knitting projects. This workshop has a smaller group size, allowing time for one-on-one guidance and advice.

You will leave this workshop with a solid understanding of the technique, a set of charts and bobbins for future projects, the sample you started creating, and greater confidence to start using intarsia in future projects

Required materials:

• Bring your own yarn with appropriately sized needles. You will need two or more contrasting colours in the same weight of yarn (DK, aran or worsted weight are recommended)
• Alternatively, yarn and needle kits will be available for purchase on the day, with costs estimated at £5-10 for everything you’ll need

This workshop is suitable for confident beginners to intermediate and advanced knitters. The requirements are that you can comfortably knit, purl, and cast on.
