Advanced Colourwork Knitting Workshop – Master Fair Isle



2 hours Class size 1 to 8 guests

  £45 - £60 (£60 per guest when you book for 1 guest, £50/guest for 2 guests, £45/guest for 3+ guests)

In this advanced colourwork knitting class in London, you’ll build the skills and confidence needed to tackle bold, beautiful multi-colour projects. The focus is on understanding how colourwork works, so you can knit with intention, improve your finish, and enjoy the process rather than wrestling with tangled yarn.
This class is best suited to confident knitters who are already comfortable with knit and purl stitches and have completed a few small projects. While it isn’t suitable for complete beginners, everything is explained clearly and supported step by step, with plenty of time to ask questions and troubleshoot as you go.
What to expect:
  • Learn how to confidently read and interpret colourwork charts.
  • Understand yarn dominance and how it affects your finished fabric.
  • Manage floats on the back of your work for neat, even tension.
  • Explore techniques for knitting with two colours, including one-handed and two-handed styles.
  • Knit a stranded colourwork sample with expert guidance throughout.
  • Tips for fixing common colourwork issues and refining your technique.
By the end of the class, you’ll feel confident starting stranded colourwork projects such as Fair Isle hats, Nordic mittens, or Icelandic yoke sweaters, with a solid understanding of charts, yarn control, and tension that will support your knitting for years to come.

  • 5/5 from Pamela, attended Apr 2025: Advanced Colourwork workshop - Sofia was very welcoming and is a great teacher. The venue was good and there was a great selection of yarn to choose from. I've been knitting for years but Sofia is very experienced and I learnt a lot - the session flew by. Would highly recommend taking part in a workshop here.
  • 5/5 from Kate Oliver, attended May 2024: Friendly and welcoming class. Loads of useful tips. I feel ready to tackle a colourwork project, which is exactly what I hoped to get from the class. I might even try something that requires steeking which I was a bit scared of before!
