WORKSHOPS

Knitting Energized Knit Surface with Commercial Yarns
 $60
10am –1pm
Don’t spin, but want to be able to get these great knit surfaces? I will provide the yarns, you do not even need any new skills, just be willing to think about how you work in new ways. These energized S and Z yarns are designed by me and spun by Green Mountain Spinnery for me. Knitters will learn how to handle these yarns, I will talk about how to dye them if they want color. The energy in these yarns is not visible, but it is definitely present, just in an “at-rest” state. When these yarns are knit up and the sample washed!! The work will migrate, moving left to right, twisting, tilting all sorts of wonderful things will happen to traditional stitch combinations and the surface will re make itself before your eyes. Be brave, have fun, and learn so much about energy, yarn and finishing, both as yarns and cloth. Kathryn will supply energized yarns to work with, booklet with color graphics and directions and lots of instruction on how to work with these yarns, and postcards of her work for inspiration.
Materials Fee: $8.
