Taught by Brandon Mably
This stash-busting class will inspire you to use your imagination when selecting yarn colors and embrace surprises when doing colorwork. Brandon Mably shows you how to make a “magic ball” by tying together lengths of light and dark yarn into a multi-colored ball. Brandon demonstrates how the yarn ball works up and shares his innovative Fair Isle technique in which he weaves in loose ends as he works. This class results in a swatch, but you can apply this technique to any of your knitting projects.
