Fair Isle

Fair Isle Class this coming Thursday, May 7 from 1:30 - 3:30 pm or 6:30 - 8:30 pm.

Fair Isle is color work knitting in which the stitches are worked in two colors in each row with stranding or floats on the wrong side. A Fair Isle project can be worked in two or more colors overall.

If you are interested, let me know. There's a supply list and class preparation (about 1/2 hour of work).

Jumbo 7 - CYC's new yarn weight

To include a variety of super thick yarns introduced to the marketplace, the Craft Yarn Council has added a new yarn weight category - Jumbo Yarn Weight #7.

The goal with this change is to make it easier for crocheters and knitters to understand the type of fabric these Jumbo yarns create and the range of hooks and needles generally required.

Also take note that there are slight gauge changes for Super Bulky Yarn Weight #6.
