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 workshop will be held at Hidden Store, 2 Pierrepont Place, Bath, UK, BA1 1JX

Tackle the scary steek and open a whole new world of possibilities with your knitting!
