Assigned Pooling

New: the black version of the strawberry yarn is now available.

Discover the magic of assigned pooling yarn. This hand dyed yarn is specially designed to create a pattern while knitting with a specific stitch. By using one or more contrasting colours within the skein, a unique motif or colour block appears in your work when you follow a particular knitting pattern.

Important: this is a directional yarn. This means the yarn must be worked in a fixed direction to achieve the intended effect. If you knit the yarn starting from the wrong end, it will not be possible to create the intended motif.
