In this class, we'll each knit a different Fair Isle motif using the same set of six colors. In three hours of swift knitting, we'll comprehend the incredible color variation achieved using the same colors in different arrangements.

A class format is the best way of instantly recognizing that it's the "interaction of color" that makes a successful fair isle garment.
