What is intarsia?
Intarsia brings freedom to colorwork, letting you splash bold panels of color and shape wherever you please!
Essentially - painting with yarn! 🎨👩🏻🎨
It is a method of incorporating large blocks of color in your knitting creating a single layer of fabric. With as many bobbins as you have ideas, and a little planning, you’ll be filling your knitting world with color!
