Join Zanete for her exclusive workshop designed to help you master the Ladderback Jacquard method, a game-changer for knitters who love stranded colour work but struggle with float management.

This comprehensive workshop will guide you through the various techniques to catch floats efficiently, with a special focus on the tips and tricks of the remarkably invisible method - Ladderback Jacquard.

In this workshop, we will dive into the world of stranded colourwork knitting. We'll kick things off with a quick overview of its key features and float management techniques, then take a closer look at the ladderback jacquard method. To bring the theory to life, we'll work on a small swatch together.

By the end of the session, you'll have a solid understanding of the ladderback jacquard method and how to use it in your future stranded projects. With this new skill, you'll be ready to take on a wider range of colourwork motifs.

Level of Experience: Intermediate.
