Color Work Series
Create swatches as you learn color work techniques such as: mosaic, stranded, intarsia, and more!
Event Description
Let's deep dive into the world of colorwork! Your class will cover: What the technique is, how to read the pattern, guide you through a swatch, explain how to find patterns for that particular method- or how to know which solid patterns can easily be personalized through the method! Every class is $20, and participants should plan to bring supplies or come ahead of time to make a purchase at the shop. For most classes, you will need two contrastic colors of the same weight, and the proper needle or hook size to work with them. Class sessions must be added to cart individually, but you can add one and select "keep browsing" to fill up your cart and check out all together! Need help? Give us a call or come into the shop for booking assistance.

Once a lesson is cancelled it cannot be rescheduled and you will need to repurchase for a new lesson. No Show Policy No show lessons will be considered a cancellation, and therefore we will not offer any rescheduling options for that past lesson. A new lesson must be purchased to rebook.
