Discover the simplicity and striking effect of mosaic colourwork knitting in this accessible, confidence-building workshop. Using just one colour per row and simple slip-stitch techniques, you’ll learn how to create bold, graphic patterns with ease-perfect for knitters looking to explore colourwork without the complexity of carrying multiple strands.
Guided by an experienced guest tutor Kate Heppell, we’ll have plenty of time to practise, ask questions, and build confidence in a calm, supportive studio environment.
This workshop is suitable for knitters who want to expand their skills and try something new.
