[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Colorwork and twisting

[Courtney F. Smith]

On my football field blanket, I’m doing the sideline stripes for a few inches & then switch to green. I have a ball of white for the left sideline & a ball of white for the right sideline.

You can always practice & figure out what works by making a swatch.

Are you doing stranded colorwork?

If so, I use one strand to pull over the other and the other one stays under so they don’t get twisted
