Problems with tension while knitting colorwork?

One of the main struggles with colorwork knitting is properly managing the tension while you knit.

In this class, we cover the three things that affect tension while knitting colorwork, and you will learn how to improve your colorwork tension.

Yarn choice has a massive impact on colorwork tension. I discuss why and teach you what to look for in a yarn to use when knitting colorwork. Techniques are also important, and I demonstrate how to hold the yarn and how to move the stitches to ensure your floats are the right length.
