i never realized before the striping issue, the point you made about choosing a color that was not in the variegated yarn to get stripes. That was very helpful, thank you!
Thanks Janet. What a great little tutorial. It was all helpful and explains some of the mystery of how these variegated beauties knit up in different patterns AND combine with other solids and speckles. Nice!
Great explanation on how colors play differently depending on the chosen pattern! I’m not a fan of pooling and now I know how to avoid it. I will be stash diving this week 👍
@@stringtheoryyarnco473 I love to let the yarn do what it may!! I’m along for the ride, and the yarn is in control!! (Except those rare times when I actually want more pooling and have to mix & match the yarn in use). Very interesting video. So much color that we see everyday but don’t think about!’
TY for the overview. Your Maximize Shawl is very pretty and a good example of a non-pooling strategy. Would you kindly update your Revelry project page to include some photos of that shawl, please?
‚Pick a colour that‘s not in the skein‘, she said - followed by her staring at the rainbow skein. That was hilarious. ;D Very good tips for this type of yarn. I haven‘t bought this kind yet, but I haven been curious… thank you!
This was really helpful & straightforward advice. So glad you pointed out common mistakes and I will definitely keep these ideas in mind for my next project ☺️ thanks for sharing!
Wish I had found this video before I started knitting my shawl 😂 I'm about 1/4 the way through of this VERY variegated yarn. It's got earthy green, gold, amber, teal, blue, cream, purple and pink 😂. I didn't know the golds and greens were in there cause the outer ball was just the purples and blues and I was like "Ummm wow okay that's weird" 😂. Now I feel like I have to finish since I got 2 skeins of this weird coloring yarn. I should've doubled it with a solid yard to blend it I think. Or striped it with a solid. Wish I could add photos to this comment so you can see these colors lol.

Thanks, Linda. I've found people either love pooling or hate it.

Thank you. I love seeing the samples and your tips on knitting.
I'm so glad. There are more to come.
I love your idea on choosing a color that isn't in the variegated yarn to use as the stripe. 💕
What a fabulous video. I am a new knitter and need all the help you can offer with combining colors and really looking at how a skein is dyed up.
I'm so glad this was helpful!
