Second Chance 007 - Deluxe Merino Sock Assigned Pooling ‘Strawberry'

Please note: Second Chance!

This skein didn't pass quality control.

During dyeing, red/pink from the strawberries got onto the blue. So occasionally a pink streak appears in the blue sections. The strawberries can be knitted without any problems.

Assigned Pooling

Discover the magic of assigned pooling yarn! This hand-dyed yarn is specially designed to form a pattern while knitting with a special stitch. By using one or more contrasting colors in the skein, a unique figure or color field emerges in your work when following a specific 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 from the wrong side, you won't be able to create the intended figure.
