Intarsia Yarn Management and Estimation // Technique Tuesday

This Technique Tuesday video demonstrates four methods of yarn management for intarsia projects, and provides examples of projects that used different techniques (and sometimes more than one technique). In addition, the video explains how to calculate the amount of yarn needed for an intarsia motif.
