Class Spotlight | Intro to Intarsia
For this introduction to the Intarsia knitting technique, we will be creating the My Duo Scarf by NORgardknitters — a chic diamond shaped scarf with contrast-colored edges. The scarf is worked tip to tip, with regular increases on both sides and a fantastic triple chain stitch edge that doesn’t roll!
Because the Intarsia technique requires some yarn management to avoid tangles, knitting at a table, in a classroom setting will help ease some of the potentially stressful aspects and in the end you’ll have a effortlessly stylish two-color cashmere scarf!
We have created project kits for this class as well! Sign-up for this workshop and get 15% OFF the My Duo Scarf Kit, featuring one of our all-time favorite luxury yarns — Cardiff Cashmere Classic. When you sign-up for the class, we will email you a coupon code for the kit!
