Advanced brioche with Andrea Mowry

Discover how to blend colors and add depth thru contrast. We will also discuss using different fibers and weights together to really mix things up. We will learn how to increase and decrease in brioche, and how it goes far beyond just shaping your fabric, to create the appearance of intricate cables and lace.
