Marling with Double Knitting

A virtual class With Alasdair Post-Quinn

May 15, 4:00-6:00pm CDT

Marling is the act of working two yarns together as one; it can be done alongside double-knitting to add texture, stability, and the illusion of a third color. Join Alasdair and learn the ins and outs of combining marled garter stitch with double-knit colorwork.

This style of double-knitting was one of Alasdair’s earliest developments and is included in both of his books, but aside from an appearance in a previous version of the Texture in Double-knitting workshop, it has never made a proper appearance until now.
