Stranded colorwork is a knitting technique that involves using two or more colors of yarn in a single row. This method creates intricate patterns by carrying the unused yarn strands along the back of the work. The result is a beautiful, textured fabric that showcases vibrant designs, often seen in traditional Fair Isle and Norwegian knitting. In stranded colorwork, it’s essential to maintain an even tension to avoid puckering. Knitters typically alternate colors every few stitches, allowing for a seamless blend of hues. This technique is popular for making items like sweaters, hats, and mittens, adding visual interest and warmth.
