LADDER-BACK JACQUARD with Amy Snell (in-person)
Monday, March 24 • 2:30 - 5:30 pm
Easy, seamless, and beautiful, the ladderback jacquard technique will improve the tension of your stranded knitting while allowing you to span much larger areas between stitches. This knitting method adds stretch to your floats while preventing the alternate color from peeking through, and can be applied to nearly any stranded knitting project.
