FAIR ISLE
This colourwork technique
involves working with two
colours at the same time,
stranding them across the
back of the work. In order
to make your motifs stand
out, always keep your yarn
B strand above the other
strand, and avoid twisting
them together. If a colour
is being stranded across
more than five stitches you
should weave it in halfway
through to avoid creating
a loop that could catch.Shape raglan top
