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.
Want to see how it works? There is a handy tutorial video available that walks you through step by step how to get the best results from this yarn.
