No yarn left behind - Creating art with linen stitch -V- Summer 2025

Turn your leftover skeins into something truly beautiful in this soothing, technique-rich class. Using fingering weight yarn scraps, we’ll explore how to create stunning, artful pieces by fading and alternating two to three colors at a time—no rules, just flow. You’ll learn how to blend colors with intention, incorporate a variety of skeins seamlessly, and finish with a braided fringe that eliminates the need to weave in tails (yes, really!). Along the way, we’ll cover easy-to-remember tricks for fixing common mistakes!

The swatch you create in class will serve as both a creative exercise and a gauge swatch—perfect for launching into a full-sized project like a shawl or scarf. Keith will share inspiring pattern ideas during class to help you visualize the possibilities. This class is designed to be therapeutic and creatively freeing while still sharpening your skills.

You will receive the Zoom link 1-2 business days before the virtual class.
