Planning for Pooling Success: Making the Most of Handpainted Yarns (10:00-12:00)
We’ve all fallen in love with a hand-dyed yarn, and then had trouble finding just the right pattern to highlight the amazing colours in the yarn. This lecture will show you some strategies for working with hand-dyed yarns to bring out the colours that you fell in love with, from mitered socks to a brand new faux-argyle sock pattern. We’ll also cover other kinds of planned pooling projects, including cowls, scarves and stoles, and share some examples of planned pooling in knitting and small weaving projects.
2 Hour Lecture: Thursday 10:00am - 12:00pm & Saturday 1:30pm - 3:30pm.
