Episode 18: Colorwork

This week we're talking about colorwork! Stranded (or fairisle), mosaic, intarsia, brioche, how to catch floats, what to do with dominant colors.... this is a 10,000 foot view of a variety of colorwork methods and techniques. This week's Dear Scratch letter gets a sort-of answer about yarn weight substitution.
