Secrets to Red Heart Super Saver Ombre Yarn | The Crochet Crowd

Red Heart Super Saver Ombre Yarn is not a transition yarn at all. It appears it is because of the subtle jumps of colours in the colour palette that is used. Learn how to manipulate the colours to your advantage.

OMG this is one of my Favorite videos of yours! I use Ombre all the time and you giving me permission to Disect has saved my OCD so much pain!

[@karlagcastro3235]

Love Red Heart! So many beautiful colors😊🧶

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thank you! 😊

[@SoMagicalMichele]

That's so cool. It was when I learned to knit socks at the beginning of the year that I even heard of manipulating the yarn. Crocheting 40 years and it's just now? Haha, not completely true. I did pull variegated to a matching spot when I'd start a new skein. For socks it was about starting at the same point in the yarn for each sock to have matching stripes . I love the idea of using these tips in my knit and crochet. Thank you!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It makes sense if the colour jump is a problem.

[@Lyvonnewest]

Never thought of dissecting the yarn to color control…genius tip!!!

[@katieawesometoski4658]

I love these tips! For me it's never been a big deal where an ombre project transitions because I feel it gives the project character but it's nice that you can go through and pick how it will transition!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm so glad!

[@alexcarrn28]

I love knowing this. I think this video might well be the bestest information I've ever gotten. Now I need to get that OMBRE yarn so I can work this out. I LOVE IT ❤️

[@suejanegonzales7445]

Three colors

[@bexaidacandelaria5128]

Very helpful to create your designing pattern 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@MidswestMama-ee2el]

Why do I always feel like I'm Beavis and or butthead laughing at some of the things you say stuff like an arm full of balls lmao and I'm like why is he so funny?!?! Am I twelve?! Well the answer to that is , mentally, yes. I am 12. Haha ❤ you

[@tonyacorder7892]

Mikey, you are the master!!! You are a genius when it comes to understanding how those colors and stitches just flow together. Like a beautiful river. Thank you for everything you have taught me through the years.

[@christabeasley4680]

I'll say it again ! U ARE THE MAN !

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

I have a RH ombré and guessed 5 colours without checking. I like that idea of colour-controlling using multiple balls. Thank you, Mikey. 😘

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Great guess. Control what you can when you need it.

[@latonsiagivensigapministries]

Thank you for this. And your baby blanket is beautiful.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thanks.

[@chatfieldcreations]

Love the idea of the dissected yarn ball! Such a great tip!

[@lourdeschapa9389]

Wow, Mackey nice tips. Thought only 3 colors but I see what u mean, thanks so much for this much needed lesson, will definitely try to do this on my next project. 😊 😘

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It was a great guess.

[@cynthiaventura360]

😂!! You are the cutest Mikey !! I just love 💕 you so much! I love 💕 your baby blanket as well! That’s beautiful 🤩!! Thank you for all that you do and for sharing your tips and secrets 🤫 😂🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You are so kind. Hope you are having a great weekend.

[@charlenechu5051]

Dissecting the yarn!What a great idea!!

[@Daniellextina87]

Your pink baby blanket is beautiful!

[@LoveEntwined]

I tried to disect a ball of this back in 2019 and had a heck of a time trying to separate the colors. Now that you've shared that there should only be five steps of color, maybe I can try again. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Glad I could help!

[@Laceycrochet]

Secret ball manipulation 😂 love it! So helpful as I am literally just about to start a blanket using the purple ombre. Thank you!👌💜🇬🇧

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You're so welcome!

[@michelekuhne9179]

I made a “Mile a Minute” crocheted afghan for my son. I loved the play of the different colors as the strips went along. I didn’t have to match anything up. Now I have started a C2C project with the leftover yarn. Ahem, I may need to go to get more supplies to finish it. So much for using up the leftover yarn!

[@sarigraham3139]

I did yarn dissection on a afghan I made with SS Ombre in Anenome. That way I controlled the change in colors. It worked out wonderfully.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I do manipulation as well as the colour sometimes change and I know it will bother me a lot.

[@coldhands1973]

Wow, i thought it was 3 colours. Thanks for the update and information. Always learning something new 😎😊

[@kelleytortorice1283]

Oh my gosh! You are a genius! I love the dissection of the ball to continue the transition of color! Thank you!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

genius is a steep word but I'm glad to help when I find out little tips like this.

[@jadegandrud6404]

I made an afghan out of this yarn in the scuba color and discovered the transition issue when I had to join a new ball. I’m a beginner so it was a challenge and I didn’t want to cut another ball so I was able to pick a ball that had the color that I needed. Now that I’m done I found your idea, which is great. I am not as stressed by joining a new ball now. Very clever behind the science tip. Thank you.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm glad something I did showed you that you can explore and be confident.

[@traceyfreeman5784]

Great secret Micky. You are always a fountain of knowledge, I have learned so much from your videos. Thanks!,

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

My pleasure!

[@lizv.418]

Mikey I love that baby blanket & the other one too!!🤗 I've taken the colors apart when one color isn't enough to complete a row

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Smart. You are a step ahead.

[@Gina_Hobbs]

Ohhhhhh! Starting the day with Mikey and yarn secrets! Perfection!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thanks Gina. Enjoy your day.

[@ritaabbott9715]

Who knew, omg. Thank you Mikey! Love love!!!

[@trinaeads693]

I love working with the ombre yarn. It makes a beautiful C2C blanket. I did a dissection for the borders so I could control the color change.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Sometimes it's the only way to make it feel finished eh.

[@kimberleyholding7439]

Mikey you’re amazing and love everything you show us, tips most of all. 😊😊

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thanks so much!

[@conniehash4643]

You are a yarn genius Mikey!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I don't know about that.

[@machelleowens5403]

I so love this ombre yarn! Thanks for this information on transitioning the colors. I only thought there were 4 colors.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You are so welcome!

[@karendodge4865]

Wow I never even thought about this. I was of the school of it happens where it happens. But I think I will give this a try as I put a lot of love into the things I make. Might as well make it known that my heart is really in it. No pun intended. Thanks Mikey. 😊

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

haha. You're punny! haha

[@margaretswann6805]

I love your tips. Thank you for helping me look more professional

[@luccylouu12]

I love all the colors that have been coming up with. It's hard to choose what to use. Thank you for all gorgeous patterns.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Too many choice is difficult a mind-meld.

[@preciousbeautyj1043]

Thx. I’m really loving these tips. Great insight.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Awesome.

[@dallasschauer2542]

YOU ARE GREAT>>>thanks.>>>very glad I found you

[@evajawidzik2562]

Thanks for the info on yarns and changing colors.

[@sharonmelody97]

So pretty… I love the ombré yarn

[@lauraloper3740]

You are too cool! Thanks for sharing!!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You are so welcome!

[@hazelderoche6470]

I love your secret of cutting the yarn to get the color you want. I have done that several times using this ombre yarn.

[@lauraharper7441]

I kinda do the dissecting but your video showed me some new tricks. I love that!!!! A whole new world.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm glad this video was helpful.

[@iamjamilyn]

Yarn manipulation.... Brilliant! Love it, As a newbie I have never really thought about that.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

hehe.

[@iamjamilyn]

@@TheCrochetCrowd and as a newbie I have made almost every from ombré yarn, so pretty and I did not have to pick my own colors…LOL

[@karenallen8424]

Thank you for the tips! I love Red Heart Ombre it’s so beautiful!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You are so welcome!

[@jeanbischoff7780]

Thank you Mikey for ALL your tips. I really appreciate you 👍

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It's my pleasure to share when I can.

[@heidigeib2660]

Love your tips. Transition yarns are some of my favorites. I think they work best with projects that start in the center vs back & forth.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

If the width is too wide, it does factor what you are saying.

[@donnalevy4377]

I’ve used the ombré yarn for a few projects and I LOVE it. My favorite so far is the green. It’s a lot of fun to work with.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

That's a great colour to play with.

[@wingandaprayer7777]

EVERY VIDEO I watch of yours Mikey, I learn all these little tidbits. I can't thank you enough for sharing your wealth of knowledge! Sure thankful for your obsession with yarn!

[@robingilson2201]

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

That's great.

[@amethystanne4586]

Thank you for doing this video. Dissecting the ombré yarn is an interesting idea. As an aside, I am envious of your yarn shelving!

[@char8059]

Thank you, Mikey! Ha ha! I guessed only two colors! 🤷🏼‍♀️🥴 I have some Red Heart SS Ombre Yarn but haven't used it yet. Thank you for these tips I can apply to tie in the colors when I use this beautiful yarn! I love watching all your videos, love your tips! Your tutorials are the best... So in-depth, explicit and thorough that even an inexperienced crocheter can achieve fabulous results! Love your gorgeous baby blanket, too!

[@katiescar1ett]

I don't have any secrets but Ombre is my favorite yarn at the moment. I'm making about 6 different projects with it and really loving it. :)

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I find it a bit addicting.

[@theohiohousewife]

Perfect! I came across some ombre I wanted to use and now I know 5 colors!

[@lindacrochetandmore9470]

Thank you for that information you really have taught me a lot

[@kristinjustinhayton1036]

Great tips! My guess was 4. Very useful information as always. Thank you

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Glad it was helpful!

[@booksandcrochethooks]

I'm currently working a C2C with Red Heart Stripes in "Polo Stripes". I don't dissect a whole skein, but I absolutely grab that center-pull of the new skein and pull until I reach the next color needed! I like to keep the color change patterns consistent.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Good choice!

[@sondrabowers4837]

Interesting yarn ball info, thank you, Mikey.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

My pleasure.

[@cherb_soco1891]

Thanks for all the great tips, Mikey. I really like RH Ombre & now that I know the secrets, I'll use it even more!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

be creative.

[@kimhaines2628]

WoW! I never knew. I love red heat yarn.

[@kimhaines2628]

I meant red heart yarn.

[@pjscelfo916]

Thank you for that great tip. I do that with the Caron Cakes when they don't like up. I had no idea you could do it with the ombre yarns also. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@julsc3492]

I have made 2 large projects with this yarn and I just got really lucky… I was able to get 3 balls for one project that had similar time stamps… they worked beautifully… same with the other project

[@pamelatheobald337]

Love that baby blanket. Pattern and color is beautiful

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thank you. It's our Sea Shells Baby blanket.

[@BimmerBabe]

ohhh the anthracite next to the pink ombre! chefs kiss

[@erikagholston6610]

I guessed 4. Thanks for sharing your tips. Maybe I will try a project with ombre yarn one day.

[@donnanickell9738]

One of my favorite yarns!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Yeah mine too.

[@kayceegreer4418]

I often run four to six skeins at the same time and if I'm not fortunate enough to get the same Dye Lots, it doesn't really matter much because I can pick and choose and play with the color at will, and I don't have to pull out too much of anyone's came to get to a nice color shade for the smooooth transition. There is always an expanse of yarn color change that will work when I do my Russian join and Keep On Truckin, baby! Also when I get to my outer edges of the size I am making, I can have just as many rows as there were in the center. I'm not so much in favor as my color rows getting thinner and thinner the farther I go out. On a smaller blanket it's not too big a thing, but when I make a bedspread in what I call a Grannytangle, I make it long enough so that be increasing rows will afford me to be able to tuck it under the pillows like a real bedspread.

[@The1952trouble]

Great tips, thank you Mikey for sharing.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You bet!

[@roxanearomando593]

I have used this yarn many times. The aqua color does change fast, but not as fast as some cakes. I love these yarns. I use some solid yarn colors with these as well, for instance, when I do some sections of a pattern that need a solid look. Then I go right back into the ombre skein and continue. Overlay patterns work well with these ombres under. It makes a very unique look. Use a darker color for the overlay stitches. I made a chevron afghan with this yarn. The transition makes for a great look with that pattern. Can't wait to do the 2022 summer cal! Thanks, Mikey, for all you do for the crochet community.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thank you for your thoughts Roxane.

[@mariannem8419]

[@gwenpryor]

I am not as obsessive compulsive as some so I just like to let the color flow no matter what. I see no need to control everything. Much more natural.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

For me I hav eto control some of the creativity.

[@lauragile3964]

I only use the Red Heart brand, and I didn't know this. Got to tell someone who worked about my local Joann's about that and surprised her. 😊

Please do!

[@jeanmetzger2970]

I’m still a beginner but I “dissected” a ball to achieve to look I wanted. Because it was a baby blanket, there wasn’t enough rows to get to the next color. Thanks for the tips!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It makes a lot of sense.

[@karentyra2792]

Thank you so much for the heads-up!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

My pleasure.
