Time

Description
Western in the right. Continental in the left. In this class, we will walk through holding yarns in two hands as students will work on a simple colorwork motif. Did you know the yarns will twist less with a 2-handed hold? Additionally, we will go through catching long floats with each hand step by step. Both are nice skills to learn for colorwork and fairisle knitting.
