Can You Color Pool With This Yarn? Here's how to know

In this video I show how to determine if you can pool with any yarn you find. I demonstrate it with Bamboo Pop yarn first since I have never pooled with this particular brand before and then I also show how to determine is with scrap yarn that was gifted to me. Two of them have no labels. Then show you how to quickly turn your Planned Pooling Practice into cute and useful kitchen towels, washcloths, hot pads and so forth.
In addition to this video I have also uploaded a blog with an extensive list of yarns you can pool with. For those who have been following along on my journey, you know this is something I have wanted to do since I first discovered Planned Pooling so I am very excited to share it with you. I will continue to add to this list and continue to gather my photo "trading cards" of the swatches I find on the internet or create myself. If you would like to share your swatches with me, you can post a picture as well as the yarn name and color way on my Facebook Group at Ginell's Quarantine Crochet.

I attempted to use camoflauge- no luck. Thanjs to the other folks who confirmed my experience.

[@GinellCooper]

I recently found other machine dyed yarn that, like RH camouflage, seems like you can pool with it but you can't. It must be a technique for dying that randomizes the color placement. I keep thinking it's bound to repeat at some point but I haven't found it.

This was so helpful and fun Ginell! I like the look of pooling but only did it once by accident! Thank you so much! This will be easier than Buffalo checks!

[@GinellCooper]

That's excellent, I'm so glad you like it.

[@babyspice420]

This is the best color pooling explanation I have seen! Thank u! Subscribed xoxo

[@GinellCooper]

Oh I'm so glad it worked for you ❤️

[@nautsrenata]

You're so right, I always chain one and turn and continue on and it does help the math add up better too. I'm even able to recognize the leg of the stitch that I have to work beside at the end without using a stitch marker now 😊 Oh, I was going to mention what else I've been doing that I find helpful is using a hook a full size bigger for my chain and first row, then going down that hook size for the second row because of how much more yarn is used going around the stitch, I find I don't have to adjust my tension as much then as my number of stitches is based on a full stitch instead of the first ones into the chain, if that makes sense 😃

[@GinellCooper]

I love it ❤️ Great advice

[@KerriEverlasting]

I approve this tutorial. Well done ❤❤❤

[@GinellCooper]

Thank you ❤️😊

[@AngelLeyna90]

I have to agree with the others and say thank you! This video was the most helpful I’ve seen about pooling so far! ❤ I can’t wait to see more

[@GinellCooper]

I'm so glad it helped you ❤️

[@BacaniCat]

I just found your channel and I have to say thank you so much! The way you explain color pooling in your videos has helped me to understand a lot! I feel confident to attempt it now :)

[@GinellCooper]

Yaaay! I'm so glad it works for you. Once you start pooling, it's hard to stop. Very addicting ❤️

[@coleen2213]

Wow, that’s awesome! Such pretty colors👏

[@GinellCooper]

❤️

[@lilliansalva7672]

Great video! I'm new to color pooling and I learned a lot from you. Thanks.

[@GinellCooper]

I'm so glad the video helped you ❤️ I am completely addicted to color pooling!

[@julliettasbeautyplace443]

Really beautiful I am gonna try it out again thank u for this video

[@GinellCooper]

❤️

[@Jazzy268]

Yes! Camouflage yarn is very hard. I, too have a couple skeins of this yarn. I started several times. No luck.

[@GinellCooper]

I feel driven to figure it out. It's gotta have a repeating pattern in there somewhere since it's machine made. I kind of want to tackle that one soon.

[@krazedvintagemodel]

It might be accomplished by removing (cutting out) the problematic section. Just a thought.

[@corinnametters5051]

Fantastic!

[@GinellCooper]

❤️

[@angelabull3554]

So pretty 😍

[@GinellCooper]

Thank you ❤️

I appreciate the time you took to make this video, so first i want to say thank you, and I say this with love, and i really dont mean to offend you. I just want to try to save others from this happening to them in thier work...My OCD got ahold of me watching this and I just have to say, I think somewhere along the way you might have missed some stitches, or made too many, or maybe missed lining them up, offset by maybe 2 instead of 1 because the diagonal lines and the squares dont line up consistently like they should, the pattern gets wiggly, and im so sorry to say, wonky... the squares arent a consistent size throughout the work, some are rectangles, some medium squares, and some small squares with wiggly lines.

[@GinellCooper]

I appreciate your input for sure. And yes it may help someone like yourself. I personally don't like perfection...or at least I don't let it steer me. It's a nice goal but not to the point of stopping progress. I just want to teach people how to get started. I feel like if you worry too much about perfection, it will turn you off to the whole concept (or at least it would for me). Once you understand the how to part, then you can practice to make it perfect....if you want. Or just be happy with the coolness of it the way it is. I am not a stitch counter. For me it sucks the fun out of the journey. I know there are many people like me and many people like you and all the shades in between. So thank you for your comment.

[@mamag2332]

I just found your channel. Amazing work! Your channel should be huge!

[@GinellCooper]

Thank you 😊❤️

[@fyora]

What do you call such wool? What do I have to look for on Ebay (I don't mean the brand name but this kind of yarn where the color changes are the same length. Hello, I hope I don't bother you or you think my question is stupid Even if you don't want to answer that here, I wish you all the best and much success. P.S : maybe gemand from your community can help me

[@GinellCooper]

It's hard to say for sure because different companies use different names. I would look for colors that say "multi" or "ombre" but here is the link to my list of known yarn you can pool with. The more you see examples, the easier it is to find. There are also links on Amazon for some of them so you can buy if you want www.ginellscrochettherapy.com/post/color-pooling-can-i-pool-with-this-yarn-here-s-how-to-know

[@cproa6]

Do you have the hat pattern? I'd love to make one for my brother in that color pool.

[@GinellCooper]

Not yet but I am about to upload a new video for color pooling in the round and although it's not a hat we'll be making, you can use that video to make one.

[@MissLarentia]

Go to the points already!!! What a waste of time.

[@GinellCooper]

Luckily you have plenty of other options. What's so interesting is whenever someone leaves a nasty comment (which isn't often because people are generally nice), that video suddenly gets a lot more views. So thank you 😁

[@KerriEverlasting]

​@@GinellCooperher comment made me laugh, its the exact opposite attitude to have when pooling. You can't just get to the points with pooling, it's not even possible. Pooling is a suggestion of a dance in the shadows that creates magic or murder, the difference is all in the attitude and that commenter is pretty much guaranteed to fail 😂❤😂❤

[@GinellCooper]

@@KerriEverlasting oh my gosh, I love your reply so much. You get it 😁 I guess if you know you know ❤️

[@glauvie]

OP, in your case, I’m afraid I agree that this video was not a good use of time for a person such as yourself. I’ll look for your upload on how to explain it correctly in the coming days! So excited!
