Inlay knitting — which also goes by the names knitweaving, stranded brocade, and roosimine  — is a colorwork technique that hails from Estonia, looks like embroidery, feels like stranded knitting, and blends color and pattern seamlessly into your knitting. This technique will open your eyes to new possibilities for incorporating intricate designs and bold contrasts into your knitwear, whether you just want to add a few eye-catching details to or work it through an entire piece.

In class we'll explore the traditional methods for working inlay, paying special attention to the differences in holds from stranded knitting and the structure of securing edges. Then we'll move on to modern and unexpected interpretations that allow us to push an old technique in new directions.
