Course details
We are delighted to welcome Mary Jane Mucklestone, American knitwear designer, author, and former co-editor of Vogue Knitting, to the Ardington family.
For her first ONLINE class, Mary Jane shares her favourite methods for choosing colours in stranded colorwork. Over the course of the classes, she’ll explain how the techniques employed in traditional Fair Isle knitting simplify the work.
Colour is big fun — yet a big fear for many. Discussing its traditional uses will take some of the mystery out of colour selection and open your eyes to new colour relationships. Students will explore the painter’s colour wheel and how it can assist in their colour selection.
There will be elements of work-along as we create swatches and turn them into useful items, accompanied by step-by-step tutor demonstration and completed examples. The three-part format will allow students the time it takes to put into practice the concepts presented. More time means less stress!
There will be simple homework tasks set between classes for all students. All patterns required for homework tasks will be provided.
Specific skills you will learn
- Simple methods for analyzing yarn colours
- Fun exercises to explore class concepts such as value and chroma
- Learn traditional methods that make the work easy
- Turn swatches into useful items
- What to look for when choosing a new project and best practices for swapping out colors
Additional Information
All Ardington ONLINE classes and talks are accompanied by their own online class information page. Helpful and easy to use, these private pages enable students and tutors to share resources, ideas and photos with each other – before, during, and after class. The link to access the page will be shared via email in the days leading up to the class.
We suggest that you do not buy any specialist materials more than one week in advance as, occasionally, a class may be cancelled due to low enrolment. For full terms and conditions, please click here.
