colorwork
Multicolored knitting technique
Colorwork is knitting or crochet that incorporates multiple colors to create patterns or images.
Techniques include stranded colorwork (carrying yarns across the back), intarsia (using separate yarn sections for color blocks), and fair isle (traditional stranded patterns from Scotland's Shetland Islands).
