Oh....this is wonderful, l’m always trying to find something new and fresh, and this is it!!!!! Love it,I’m ordering this right now. Thank you so much, and you explain this even I could understand.🧶🧶🧶👍
I can see the initial problem here, tightening the tension instead of loosening it to get the pattern to shift on one. I wonder would it be better to alter the number of turning chain rather than the tension too as is the tension going to keep having to get tighter? It is good to see some of the thought processes that need to go into achieving the pattern and it is a satisfying effect.
Love your samples! Are those made just from going one row of the color sequence to set the pattern? The size would be great as hot pads if the yarn is good for it. About what is the measurement?
Apply the same technique working through a full colour repeat. I worked through one colour repeat but you can work through 2 or 3 etc. I don't think you can work though any less than 1 repeat. I hope this helps :)
A very admirable video but the edges are uneven up left and right sides, would blocking fix that? Does the constant faffing with the tension not compromise the yarn strength. And the how do you make a garment ? Maybe a blanket. I’m new to this so I’m not meaning to sound negative.
Looks great but not my idea of fun.... I bought the colour ‘stormy nights’ and it drove me nutty and after two months of trying I’m about to give up.... could you do a tutorial on the ‘stormy nights’ colour because I couldn’t figure out the colours. Unfortunately the ball band has instructions for a very different colour yarn, which is puzzling enough ..... thank you
You can try anything to make it work for you. I used the suggested hook size for the video but as I say in the vid- you can go up or down a hook size throughout your pattern instead of trying to change your tension.
I cant crochet so I will knit a cardigan can you Please tell me if the Yarn knits up as side of ball band a diamond sort of tartan pattern as so far its just like random stripes
Looks good but seems tricky to get the Argyle yarn pattern going and to maintain it. I don’t know I could make a garment with it. Very useful tutorial with lots of techniques, thank you.
I’m a competent at crochet but cannot work this out at all. I’ve tried and tried but just can’t fathom it. The pattern isn’t very clear to me. If I do 2 colour repeats as suggested it’s way too wide. Must be reading it wrongly. I’ve tried 4 different hook sizes. Should the purple section be longer than the other 3 colours? I don’t give up easily but this has me beat 😢
Yes, the purple is a wider colour. Can I suggest working a sample from the video before trying the pattern? This will hep you to understand how it works and then you can apply it to the pattern :) If you would like any further help, please contact me on creative@stylecraftltd.co.uk :)
I got very confused. I was trying to associate the colours of my colour pool yarn (typhoon) with the one in the video which starts with light blue but then the chain started with turquoise... no wonder I couldn't work out if it was looking right.
You don't have to start with any particular colour. As long as the colours are changing when they should, then you can use the video to help you with any colourway :)
@@StylecraftYarns I understand that but matching up colours to the video is the easiest way to do that. I matched mine as she went through the colour sequence at the beginning but she then staggered with a colour that was not at the beginning of the sequence.
I went through a full colour repeat, took the last stitch away and then turned. You can associate this to any of the colourways. Try writing out your colour sequence above my colour sequence then, when I refer to a colour, you know which of your own shade you are working with :) If you need any further help, you can email me at creative@stylecraftltd.co.uk
@@StylecraftYarns That's what I did when you first went through the colours starting with light blue. It's not very noticeable that when you start crocheting it's not light blue
Some colors are very time consuming but worth the result. I haven't used yarns made special for it yet, so it's been trial and error - makes it more challenging.
No, actually, silly me, she is correct, it does need to be tighter to let the colour go further but did it commence in the right place to begin with when using so many turning chain as that might contribute as may the hook size. It does seem somewhat complex if you're frequently adjusting the tension to keep a stitch colour complete though it may not matter about the stitch being just one colour always, she says. Maybe you're going to look more intently at it in the first few rows or if you're more perfectionist - or if it is your aim is to demonstrate the effect to others for the benefit of sharing with them how it is done.
That's the way all Colour Pool yarn works...it has to be manipulated to form the pattern, that's why it's so blooming addictive (eventually, after the initial getting your head around it haha)
Thank you for making this video; It helped me with the frustration my yarn was giving me. Thank you again, and happy crocheting! 🧶
I love your accent! I am in Texas, USA and I am watching every pooling video so I can figure how to do pooling. Thanks!
I'm learning all I can about color pooling. Wonderful tutorial. I didn't know Stylecraft had this yarn. Now I have to find some. Thank you very much.
Please can you tell me where to buy this yarn? I'm in UK and don't see it online anywhere.
Tia.
I have started the free cowl pattern using Indian Summer. Thank you for such an easy to follow video. I love the technique.
Oh....this is wonderful, l’m always trying to find something new and fresh, and this is it!!!!! Love it,I’m ordering this right now. Thank you so much, and you explain this even I could understand.🧶🧶🧶👍
Unfortunately, those yarns seem stopped manufacturing. Can't find them anymore. Thank you so much for the video!💞

I've just ordered the yarn !! But I would like to know how it works if you want to make a larger piece. Is there any tutorial ?
Love your samples! Are those made just from going one row of the color sequence to set the pattern? The size would be great as hot pads if the yarn is good for it. About what is the measurement?
Great video but what to do if you want to do smaller or wider work ?
Apply the same technique working through a full colour repeat. I worked through one colour repeat but you can work through 2 or 3 etc. I don't think you can work though any less than 1 repeat. I hope this helps :)
Stylecraft Yarns Thank you
Thank you.. a British yarn we can buy at last..cant wait 😙

We’re you buy that yarn in USA, pls I love to do pooling crochet
Hello. What size hook did you use in the tutorial. The paper band round the wool suggests 5.5 and 4.
I used a 5.5 but you can go up and down hook sizes or just change your tension slightly to get the pattern to work.
Oh, I'm having the same problem. After the 4 mm, let's try with 5,5 mm.
Did you suceed ?
So how is pattern achieved for people who knit? Can’t see the point in buying the yarn if you can’t knit with it!
We have a blog post on how to knit with it- stylecraft-yarns.co.uk/blog/colour-pool-for-knitters/
Great, but why does stylecraft always discontinue their yarns?
I love this but wouldn't it be complicated to make a jumper with this? Can it be knitted?
Wondering if a small hook size might mean less ripping back.
You can try anything to make it work for you. I used the suggested hook size for the video but as I say in the vid- you can go up or down a hook size throughout your pattern instead of trying to change your tension.
@@StylecraftYarns Sorry, must have missed the bit where you said that! Anyway, have got the hang of it finally. Thanks for the tutorial.
I cant crochet so I will knit a cardigan can you Please tell me if the Yarn knits up as side of ball band a diamond sort of tartan pattern as so far its just like random stripes
This yarn is now available at Woolshopdirect
When is the yarn released in the UK? Looks complicated, but would like to give it a go. Thanks
It's really simple once you get started! The yarn will be widely available in the shops from 17th.
Thank you!
Stylecraft Yarns thanks!!
Thanks Heidi!
Where to purchase yarn?
Can you do a video with the colour heatwave
agreed. It's hard to tell the difference between light and dark red.
Looks good but seems tricky to get the Argyle yarn pattern going and to maintain it. I don’t know I could make a garment with it. Very useful tutorial with lots of techniques, thank you.
The colour pooling technique is more for cushions and bags rather than a garment. It's really easy once you get started! :)

Thank you stylecraft loving working with this wool, so soft and looks beautiful!
I can see Christmas pressies!!
yay thankyou stylecraft!! I hope woolwarehouse will this?
Black Sheep have it ;)
I discovered they did this morning and put an order in, fingers crossed it comes tomorrow for my birthday! 🙂

What about altering the hook size?
You can alter your hook size or alter your tension. Which ever you prefer to do to get the pattern to work :)
If you have to spend more time frogging to accurately place the colours then no thanks.
Some colors are very time consuming but worth the result. I haven't used yarns made special for it yet, so it's been trial and error - makes it more challenging.
Why does she double crochet like that?! Aren't you supposed to yarn over first?
English Double crochet (equivalent to American single crochet.... not American Double crochet).
Patricia Chisholm not knowing she’s English she probably should specify that. Because I was thinking the same thing
No, actually, silly me, she is correct, it does need to be tighter to let the colour go further but did it commence in the right place to begin with when using so many turning chain as that might contribute as may the hook size.

But this is single crochet, why do you call it "double crochet" ?
UK double=US single
@@andreamcadam2822 And how is the double in UK ? Thanks
Double in US is treble in UK!
omg what a faff. What’s the point of spending more time unpicking than crocheting? - and this is someone who knows what’s she’s doing!
