This session will be recorded and provided to all registrants of the class within 24 hours of the scheduled end time of the session and will be available to view for two full weeks (until December 3rd, 2022).

Have you ever wanted to use different yarn than a pattern suggests but don’t know where to start? Did you know that you can mix a fingering and a mohair and make DK weight yarn? In this class you will learn the different types of yarn, how to create thicker yarns mixing different weight yarn together and actually look at a written knitting pattern and change the type of yarn used. Kimberly McAlindin will guide you through all the questions you have about yarn substitutions and how to apply your newfound knowledge using her popular Knit A Rainbow pattern. This lecture (plus a bit of math) class will empower you by giving you real examples of how to use the yarn you choose for a pattern that may be written for a different weight yarn. In this class we will go over:

-the different weights of yarn
-gauge
-how to create thicker yarns by mixing thinner yarns together
-how to look at a pattern to see if you can use a different weight yarn. -answer any questions you may have about yarn substitutions.

No homework.
