Session B
Color A: 50-100 grams DK (or worsted) weight yarn 
Color B: 50-100 grams DK (or worsted) weight yarn
*Partially used skeins of contrasting dk or worsted weight from your stash would work well for this course. Students can also opt to use many different skeins of leftover yarn or 20 gram minis to crochet a super colorful creation. Feel free to go as cohesive, neutral, or crazy colorful as you’d like with all of your yarn selections. If you have 50 grams of a color you were utilizing in Session A, the remaining yardage of those same colors can be used during Session B. The singular cowl that we begin in these two sessions will contain both of the colorwork styles (intarsia and tapestry crochet) learned in class.

Homework
Wind your yarn, gather your class materials, print handouts.
