Pumpkin Patch Noir - Deluxe Merino Sock Assigned Pooling

Pumpkin Patch Noir takes the same warm autumn contrast you know from Pumpkin Patch and drops it into a near-black base. Think a pumpkin patch after dark: the oranges and rusts still bloom into their motif, but now they glow against the shadows instead of sitting in daylight.

This colourway is a great match for a top down circular yoke: knit that way, the pumpkins land right side up around the yoke. It also works beautifully for the ParalleloPooling Shawl.

Assigned Pooling

Discover the magic of assigned pooling yarn! This hand-dyed yarn is specially designed to form a pattern while knitting using a specific stitch. By using one or more contrasting colours in the skein, following a particular knitting pattern creates a unique motif or colour block in your work.

Important: this is a directional yarn. This means the yarn must be worked in a fixed direction to achieve the intended effect. Knitting from the wrong end will prevent the intended motif from forming.
