We love handpaints, but often find them frustrating to use. In this fun and informative lecture by hand-dyer and designer Carol Sulcoski, we’ll explore the world of handpainted yarn: how handpaints are made, how the dyeing process affects how they behave on the needles, pooling and other color-massing effects, how to match handpaints to projects, and so much more! We’ll talk about trouble spots where handpaints often frustrate us and how to handle them.We’ll pay particular attention to the issue of pooling, including tips for randomizing color effects when pooling is unattractive or not wanted. We’ll finish with a look at intentional pooling—deliberately selecting yarn and pattern so that pooling creates intentional patterns.
