Latvian Braid and Other Clever Twists with Amy Snell
Welcome to the world of inventive twists on colorwork! In this class we’ll learn both right- and left-leaning Latvian braid, Vikkel braids, and a few other tricks that will bring life and zest to your colorwork projects, including an easy and elegant new two-color cast-on.
To work along with the demonstrations, you will want to have on hand approximately 30 yards each of a dark and a light-colored worsted-weight yarn, and needles you usually use for worsted weight yarn suitable for working small-circumference projects in the round (dpns, magic loop, or two circulars).
