Roosimine - Estonian Inlay Knitting at Skein Sisters

  • Skein Sisters 721 New Canterbury Road Dulwich Hill, NSW, 2203 Australia (map)

Roosimine is an Estonian inlay technique that creates the appearance of embroidery through intentional floats in contrasting yarn on the right side of your knitting.

It’s the perfect technique to add some embellishment to your knitting that is easier than intarsia. The name Roosimine translates to “decorating with roses”, which comes from a style of short stitch embroidery done on the Estonian island of Muhu.

This is a in person workshop at Skein Sisters in Sydney, NSW, Australia

SKILL LEVEL:
Intermediate - Students should be comfortable knitting in the round and reading from charts

MATERIALS:

  • 4mm / US 6 needles for knitting small circumference (Double pointed needles or circular needles for magic loop)
