Stranded colorwork

Stranded colorwork is a knitting technique where two or more colors of yarn are used in the same row to create patterns, designs, or images. During this process, the unused yarn strands are carried along the back of the work. This method allows for intricate and beautiful designs, such as fair isle patterns or motifs. It's often seen in sweaters, hats, and mittens. The technique requires careful tension control to ensure the fabric remains even and comfortable to wear, making it both an art and a skill that many knitters enjoy mastering.
