About Yarn Savvy
Demystifying yarn — how its made, the fiber content, its weight — is essential to being a more confident knitter. We all know that choosing the right yarn for any project can be critical, but with so many options, the choice isn't always clear. This workshop examines what makes one yarn behave differently from the next. We'll knit a sample in multiple yarns to learn about different fiber types and treatment, spinning styles, ply structure, grist, and more.
Yarn to learn and swatch with provided at class. Yarns will include: Lanas, Ultra Wool, Ultra Alpaca, Rios, Highland, Woolstock, Lamb's Pride, Får, Pima 100, Remix. Please bring knitting needles suitable for worsted weight yarn (US 7–8).
About Sweater Savvy
This workshop is designed for all of you who want to knit a sweater but aren't sure where to start. What if it won't fit? What designers are particularly good ones (and who should I avoid — we've got opinions!)? How do I choose the right pattern for my body, my budget, and my knitting ability? How do I apply what I've learned in the Yarn Savvy workshop to choosing a sweater pattern? This workshop will help you plan and prepare for a sweater project, from choosing a pattern and yarn to making a plan to get it knit.
Please bring your favorite sweater (hand knit or manufactured). Also bring a notebook, something to write with, a wifi-enabled tablet, phone, or laptop (you'll want to access Ravelry), and lots of questions!
