How To Color Control Yarn

[@rondiefenbacher3478]

Thanks Crystal, for sharing! ❤💖

[@newbieknitandcrochet4312]

So interesting! I learn a lot from your channel and really enjoy your unboxing and giveaways. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and content.

[@yarnmotivated-joyceswensso9744]

With you on color control!

[@mommaknowsbestakagwen4028]

Hi Crystal thank you for the information. Happy day to you.

[@strngenchantedgirl]

I 100% agree with color controlling projects. It looks better imo. Thanks for showing how to break apart the cakes.

[@martyrexroat8615]

I am with you Crystal! I color control every project I make.

[@sandrasinnock5143]

Good information, Crystal. You really explained it well.

[@deirdreevans5533]

I am a stickler for color control too. I separate my cakes/skeins of yarn the same way you do. When crocheting, especially a C2C blanket I love to color control. I want the change in colors to change at a certain point and be consistent thru-out the project. Yaay!!! Glad to know I was doing it correctly👍🏾 Thanks for sharing.

[@heidiwagenknecht6362]

Cool idea taking the colors apart, that actually makes sense for color control

[@rebmedina2835]

I just saw this. I love your jumper. Sometimes your old videos come up on my feed so I get to see them

[@gaylescovel7308]

Well wowzers! Thats what color control is! Then yes i certainly am a color controller! 🤗

[@suesaffel1411]

This is really useful if using Mandala that doesn't come in a Bonus Bundle.

[@ginnied7346]

Love your Freddy Mercury collection ❤ One of the best male singers in history, and Wow by Golly he had a heck of a presence, especially whilst on stage

[@kimbo500]

I really feel I have to color control my projects too. I'm glad to hear and read here that I"m not the only one who feels this way! I know some people think I'm off my rocker, but it's just the way it is! 👍

[@therealnancycarol]

Thank you for explaining this. The how wasn't as unclear to me as the why, but now I get it. If I ever want to do this, I'm certain I'll be able to! 💕💕💕

[@lindajeanhouse6443]

For me, color control is a must. I gladly sacrifice a small amount of yarn to get a beautiful looking project. I wish all multi-colored yarn had solids to match.

[@lorettaoates5332]

Thank you Crystal for the 411!!

[@SuperPeppermint2]

I would have never done that; taking them apart; smart!!!

[@shirleyspring4905]

I totally agree with you. The change of colors should be at the edges. I avoid buying cakes if possible. 🎄❄️

[@rubywilson1694]

I love the sweater you're wearing, it's lovely,

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

Thank you 😊

[@DianEnglish56]

Thank you for explaining this. I had not heard of “color controlling” with regard to yarns. Love the colors of your hat and cardigan. Love your Freddy Mercury background!

[@florencekalma5629]

That hat is perfect for that sweater!

[@carlaincrestwoodky]

Color control is necessary sometimes but other times you can just go and go!!! Thanks for explaining when you need to use it!!!

[@RIODJENIRO1]

I have to color control when making sweaters for all the panels, blouses, jackets, etc., not so much for scarves, blankets. I used Caron Latte cakes to make one of Crystals sweaters, didn't do it (and I should have) to the back panel, but did for the 2 front panels and both sleeves, even the cuffs of the sweater and pockets. For me, it just looks more put together with color control...Thanks Crystal for sharing, it's always good to get a "refresher".

[@barbaralanham6140]

I always wondered how color controlling was done. This is awesome. So simple now. Thank you.

[@zoilarivera8866]

I think color controlling is an important tool especially if you’re looking for consistency. I just finished watching all 9 Yarn 101 Education videos and have to thank you for all the valuable information in each video. I know making videos is time consuming but I honesty appreciate all your hard work. As a beginner I feel more confident when making a project…thanks Crystal🙏🏻. I just need to get a set of hooks and more yarn because I really do love to crochet. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us🙏🏻

[@AffordablyCrafty]

Hello hello first comment. Thanks for sharing all your yarn knowledge. Have a creative day-Kim

[@maribelishooked4378]

Thank you for sharing this information. Love videos like these.

[@deborahrichardson1842]

Finally catching up on videos! That was very informative, Crystal, that you for putting out a new video on color control.

[@sharakirkby2744]

I love to colour control as well. Everything we make looks polished.

[@dr.t.8656]

Thanks Crystal! Color controlling is especially useful for when you want to put a solid or consistent color as a border. I primarily use Mandala Ombre and pull one out one color to use as the border. I too wish they would make some solids to match their ombres, even if in small cakes.

[@debsmith7439]

This was interesting. I like the color changes throughout an afghan or scarf.

[@rebeccamcdonald7146]

Omg..... You are brilliant. I have never heard of color control. (But I am also a newbie) but I love your concept. Thank you for sharing.

[@brendamonteith1041]

Great tutorial good information. Thank you Crystal.

[@carolynnichols3938]

I love love love your hat! Such a beautiful color and that is definitely your color!

[@barbarapatton4587]

Next time, I would recommend that you have a scarf available to show a color controlled project that is complete. You made a believer out of me, especially when I saw a project completed.

[@80iesrocked]

You teach me something new almost daily, thank you

[@cynthiaziegler7451]

lol, I thought I was the only person who did this with the cake yarns! My friends think i’m crazy. Interesting video, thanks!

[@JulieChaffeeMazza]

I shared this to my Facebook. Thank you for the video. Greatly appreciated.

[@roxannapurcell7305]

Thanks Crystal for this info…appreciate it 🧶😊

[@missybrigner9958]

Good Lord that anniversary cake is HUGE 😯😮😯😮😯

[@SandPell123]

I have done this before with Caron Latte Cakes. I also hate when yarn changes color abruptly. I totally agree with you,

[@Onpassivian]

Thank you Crystal this is something new I've learnt. Also on the types of yarns to do color control on. I'll be sure to give this a go. I love your videos. Being a newbie in crocheting, I get alot of gold nuggets from your videos so they're worthwhile to watch. Thank you, thank you for taking the time to do this videos❤🧡💛💚💙🤎

[@tamaraj.7239]

The 1st sweater I made was one from your tutorials and I used Caron Cake cookie crumble and I colors controlled it somewhat. There were a few places that there was a break in the colors, but not to bad. Now the sleeves I did. I made the sweater for my husband and he LOVES it. I think he's afraid to wear it because he thinks he'll do something to it. Lol Thank you for this video. You're awesome. Stay safe. Xoxo 😘💖

[@sonias1love]

Its a great idea - I like it

[@kismymailks]

Thank you for explaining color control and showing that you can separate cake colors. I'm a perfectionist, and like you, I don't like a break in the within a roll.

[@debbyhulsey406]

👍thumbs up to color control ❤

[@deniseclose566]

I'm not that into color control, but now I know how should I ever want to.

[@lanamoler1082]

I've been waiting for you to make this video!!! 😃🌹Daaaang, who sneezed, lol!! I got it, easy peasy!! Makes great sense, too! Thank You, Crystal!! 🌹😃

[@vondastrauser4428]

Thanks Crystal for explaining/showing us how color control is done.

[@goodwitchup]

Very good explanation of color control, you do it the same way I do. Thanks Crystal.

[@karlagcastro3235]

Thanks Crystal for the tutorial!😊🧶

[@Christena1601]

I would color control also. I like the unity 🤝 Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@Annascraftyamore]

Thank you for the tips Crystal I like the look much better of completed one colour rows and rounds too🙋🏻‍♀️💞🎄

[@breslittleyarncornor5680]

Gotta love a good Ombre . Let it flow.

[@karenughoc2849]

Thank you for letting us know how to color control and what yarn cakes to use.

[@Kathiesueq]

I love that hat! I color control just like you do!

[@lynnegordon6749]

Thanks for showing us how to colour control, Crystal. I didn't bother doing that for a baby blanket, and it came out nicely, but on a larger blanket, I might try it.

[@micheletravagliato1702]

Thank you Crystal for explaining how you color control and which types of yarn are better to to that with. You are such a great teacher. I have learned so much from you. Merry Christmas!!

[@vikkisoderquist6013]

Thanks Crystal for explaining color control. I was thinking it was like color pooling, which I really don't care for at all. Love, hugs and stay safe. 💜

[@rubywilson1694]

I've been working on a blanket that I use all my "scraps" in, it's going to be of various colors I've used and of different wt yarns

[@80iesrocked]

That's funny, I do that and call them my fuggly blankets. My family love them

[@vangu2918]

My mom used to do that all the time and they looked unique.

[@chezarctica7386]

I’m a crochet noob with a neurotic aversion to wastage and thought about doing this too, glad to hear it’s actually a thing!

[@CinderellaMakes]

Red heart all day is my favorite ❤️ I used that technique on my cardigan! I need to try more yarn out eventually 😅 girl I love seeing you talk about this stuff 🎉

[@fawnjenkins7266]

Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks, Crystal!

[@phillipmarsh4886]

SOOOOO Funny! I was just thinking color control freak, when you said it!!!!!! we need a t-shirt that says that!!!!! Hope youre well, and have a fun and safe new year! Thank you for all you do!

[@amybettencourt3404]

I've done this before, but didn't know there was even a name for it! I found it tedious, but I can see the value in it for certain types of projects where you need/want a certain look. Thank you!

[@joycebyrne9175]

Wow! I didn't know you could do that to those cakes!

[@teeohgirl]

Was confused on the mixed color yarns,,,,now I know,,,,thanks Crystal

[@joannebedars9927]

Very well explained. Thank you Crystal. ❤️🧶

[@TheLashera]

Thanks for sharing Crystal.

[@luckylibra11]

I am a new yarn maker, so I am thrilled and shocked you are a puller too 😂 ❤️❤️

[@yolandabyers-goodwin2349]

Thank you for sharing Crystal. I always wondered how I could change which color I wanted to start with. This was so helpful.

[@yvonnecook530]

I have done this and didn't know it had a name. Thanks for the explanation. Take good care.

[@accounthacked123]

I think you color controlled that beautiful pullover granny square sweater that you made a couple of years ago. When crocheting a larger project or "croJect" ...it is amazing to have the ability to piece out, gather, and use the colors seperately.

[@Desaundrea]

I did my first color controlling on my Latte cardigan. It lines up as close as possible and looks great. Though I in general do not color control. Thank you for this video 🥰👏🏽🙏🏽🧶🧶🧶

[@MsPinto-yo7rx]

Always wonder how to know which ones you can colour control and which ones you can’t. Now it makes sense, thank you ☺️.

[@jeannemcgowen5850]

The O’Go is great for color control, I’ve made a couple of hats with it and I love it. Funny when O’Go first came out I said I wouldn’t buy it because I thought it was gimmicky, but then I watched Marley Bird’s video make a fair isle hat and I was hooked. I like the Big Donut and the Colorama 😀👍🏻

[@strngenchantedgirl]

Yeah I’m not a fan of the donut shape but they’re so easy to break apart and they have beautiful color combinations. I never would have thought about buying one until Daisy Farm Crafts made a beautiful hat with one. It just never occurred to me to break the colors apart. Duh.

[@marysaleman9760]

Thank you for sharing. You certainly are quite a fiber artist.

[@sarahoquendo7967]

I discovered you somewhat recently. I became aware you made this video and the title caught my interest. I finally took the time to watch it and thank you for introducing me to color control. I see the potential benefits for future projects using this method. I also recently discovered the Caron Cloud Cakes and remember wishing they had solids. I now have a workaround. Thanks so much!

[@falishastewart-hall7683]

Thank you for explaining color controls

[@angelaharris1112]

Thank you Crystal! ❤️ I would never have thought of doing this way, but will from now on!!

[@MyName-hg1xb]

I finally understand what you mean by yarn control!!! So uh thank you very much for that info… I had my own idea I just didn’t get that you actually took the yarn apart before you start your project.

[@dorothyquarles6189]

Thank you Crystal your truly loved. 🥰

[@kayroth8750]

I finally understand how to color control, thanks Crystal!

[@dlove2scrap]

Great info. Still new to this healthy and addicting and most comfortable hobby. 💜💜🥰💜💜

[@rootsrocksfeathers1975]

Very educational! I had never even heard of color controlling until your channel. I just thought I was stuck with whatever came out of the skein, but I suppose in years past, I have never had a yarn that was easy to color control like the Mandala in this example. Thank you! ~Cynthia

[@katf3836]

Thank you for explanation. I color control depending on the project. I definitely color control wearables and some blankets. I love the consistent look!! Thank you!

[@MelonysCreativeCorner]

I watched your previous video and color controlled a shawl. It came out beautifully. I never even considered this before seeing your video. Thank you. I love it

[@lisawilliams2406]

Take all the time you need. I love learning new things. Your Freddy room is looking fabulous!

[@craftynana571]

Merry Christmas Crystal and family. Thank you for all you do for this community. Wishing you a happy new year.

[@rhondabarlow860]

Good video. I don't like the abrupt color change in the cakes either. I will try your method. Thanks for the video!

[@Cari_Crafts]

Thank you for explaining this! I understood the idea was cutting up the colors but I had no idea what cakes/skeins would be good / bad to do this with. I'm so grateful you mentioned nothing below 6", I would have never known. And I when I start a project, I go down swinging trying to fix it. Thank You for saving me! :)

[@barbheggen7434]

Thank you for explaining it .

[@drowninginthelake]

This just makes so much sense I'm making a queen size blanket for my husband in the mandala and its self striping and i have had only like 3 breaks in so far but not too noticable and it just makes so much more sense to take it apart

[@lindahamilton3520]

Thank you Crystal. I wanted to learn how to do this. ❤️

[@ShielaSoares]

I have 6 balls of the Gnome Mandala that was gifted to me and I didn't really want to have the colors begin and end in the middle somewhere of my rows. So I have never used them. Thank you so much Crystal for that explanation and showing us how to color control.

[@melhartley8376]

Good lesson.

[@carol-annmatthew5296]

Hi Crystal thanks for the demonstration. Colour control is not a bad thing

[@suzzeehall6664]

I showed my seven year old nephew, Eli's jumper and he loves it. He is very much about not mixing up colours. He loves how the colours go. I have never tried to colour control.

[@michellelareau5023]

Now I know what color control is. I find that interesting. I love solids/variegated. So now I know I can take my yarn apart!!!! Thanks…

[@mesagirl224]

Thank you Crystal for this video it was very interesting! 🧶🧶🧶
