Description:
Color pooling is the manipulation of yarns with long lengths of a distinct color to form patterns with that color in a finished project.

In this class, we will:

• learn how to determine if a particular yarn can be used for pooling projects

• discuss the differences between "planned pooling" and "assigned pooling"

• practice the techniques required for Dawn Barker's assigned pooling pattern Spot, including Laura's recommended cast-on, working the cluster stitch, and suggested pattern hacks

• share ideas for projects by other designers that use techniques similar to assigned pooling

Skill Level: Advanced beginner. Should know how to cast on, knit, purl, and make yarnovers.

Supplies to bring to class:

• Dawn Barker’s “Spot” pattern

• MTxBarker Wool Assigned Pooling ASAP yarn (2 hanks) OR a super-bulky yarn of your choice that will work for assigned pooling

• Please have one skein of your yarn wound and ready to cast on and leave the other skein in the hank.
