Ladderback Jacquard with Aleks Byrd

If you're a fan of stranded colourwork, the ladderback jacquard technique is a game changer!

Create beautiful stranded colourwork, not just from the right side but also the wrong side with this game changing float management skill. Ladderback jacquard will help you manage floats by keeping them short to avoid any snagging, while also opening up the possibility of knitting patterns which require longer gaps between colours.

In the workshop we will explore two ways of using ladderback jacquard; the first by adding a ladderback stitch while knitting stranded colourwork and the second by creating the ladderback stitch after you've finished knitting colourwork.
