Let me know if you try it.Illuminate Crochethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08750043590498446248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241896252474858543.post-15939298680743014742017-10-28T00:10:49.083-07:002017-10-28T00:10:49.083-07:00I've read that some pooling effects can be red...I've read that some pooling effects can be reduced by alternating different skeins of the same variegated yarns every row or every couple of rows, starting each skein at a different point in the colour sequence. Have you had experience with that method?Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241896252474858543.post-18255865789198794772017-10-21T18:06:34.661-07:002017-10-21T18:06:34.661-07:00You are so very welcome!

I tend to have this issue because I fall in love with how the colors go together when they are in the skein in the store, not necessarily anything else :) so naturally when I actually go to use the yarn, sometimes I am very surprised (not always happily) at what comes out! I admit that I have not always had the patience to experiment with which stitches could work well with each kind of yarn either...however, rather than wasting the yarn that drives me crazy when this happens, I came up with the solution of using it as 'teaching' yarn for my little one to learn different crochet stitches since it is very fun to see the colors appear like magic :) I should learn this optimism from her!! Btw, which yarn did you use in these demos? It's beautiful! Thanks again for a super-informative post!NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08058712926480742478noreply@blogger.com
