Rocking the Float: Ladderback Jacquard Class - Dec 12 2026

Ladderback Jacquard Class

Date: Saturday, December 12, 2026

Time: 3:00-5:00pm

Location: SMAY Crafting Hub

 

Learn to control long floats in your stranded knitting without losing the flexibility of the knit

fabric.

 

Ladder-Back Jacquard (LBJ) is a technique used in machine knitting, but clever people

have figured out how to work it into hand knitting. It’s a way of dealing with long floats of

the non-working color (the carried color) across the back of your work that avoids trapping

the floats with the working yarn, but still keeps the carried color loose and secure. We will

go over adding the extra lines on the chart and the stitches in your work and then once we

are done we’ll make them all disappear again leaving you with nothing but a super stretchy

fabric with no long annoying floats!
