Assigned Pooling is a knitting technique that takes advantage of specialty dyed yarns which have a short color-pop section in them. Usually this involves working a base fabric of garter stitch or Stockinette stitch, and then switching to a different stitch when the color pops appear in the yarn. We will swatch different types of stitches for use with this technique.

Supplies:

• One skein of yarn dyed in an assigned pooling colorway
• Assigned pooling yarns typically are dyed in one main color with an accent color about 10 inches long, or 15-20% of the skein. I recommend Painted Spring Farm Alpacas DK Weight Planned Pooling yarns which can be found at https://www.paintedspring.com/.
• Needles appropriate for the yarn
• Basic knitting supplies
