Knitting With Gotland Yarn: The Pebble Scarf with Sarah Solomon
Taught by Sarah Solomon, hosted by Six Dutchess Farm
During the class, you will learn about the special qualities of Gotland wool, what makes it so prized among hand-spinners and knitters, and how best to work with this exceptionally light and fine fiber in your knitting projects.
Sarah will share with you her experiences knitting with Gotland yarn, how to select a knitting pattern the works best with this fiber's natural bloom and halo effect, and how to choose needles and blocking strategies that will enhance your final product.
During our time together, we'll start knitting The Pebble Scarf, casting on together, and working our way through one or two skeins of yarn. Through the option of a third add-on class, for those who would like to finish the scarf in February, we can bind-off together and talk about final washing and blocking.
This class is recommended for Beginners or Lapsed Knitters with some level of experience, even if very limited. However, if you are a total beginner, and one of your 2021 goals is to learn how to knit, we welcome you and will help you cross over to the wonderful world of knitting!
