INTARSIA is a knitting technique used to create patterns with multiple colours. As with the woodworking technique of the same name, fields of different colours and materials appear to be inlaid in one another, but are in fact all separate pieces fitting together like a jigsaw puzzle.

CROWN AND GLORY: knitted by the sublime Brenda M Watson; a technical knitting and crochet whizz. The yarns are worsted spun John Arbon’s Exmoor mill in an innovative colour palette that aims to provide designers and knitters with the precise shade they require.
