Artisan 70d Intarsia Carriage - The Artisan 70D Intarsia Carriage replaced the carriage on the main knitting bed. This allows you to do intarsia or picture or block knitting. The yarn is not carried across the back of the knitting and does not form loops or floats that snag. You can also used any number of colors as required by your pattern. The technique is described in the back of the 70D Manual.

If you own an Artisan 70D Plus knitting machine, the intarsia is already built into the carriage. The Artisan 70D Intarsia Carriage is for the original 70D model.

 

The Artisan 70D Intarsia Carriage opens up a whole new range of dramatic effect techniques.
