Vertical Intarsia Color Change

Intarsia is a color work technique where blocks of color are knit with separate bobbins, or balls of yarn and no yarn is carried across your rows of stitches. To avoid any gaps or holes along the vertical line where the color change happens, the two yarns must be twisted around each other in every row on the wrong side of the fabric.

In this lesson, I'll demonstrate how to make the twist when you change from one color to the next (RS & WS) and how and why you're gonna make the twist if you continue with the original color (RS & WS).
