Knitting Help - Alternating Hand Dyed Yarns

When you're using hand dyed yarns, it's a good idea to have two balls of yarn going at once to avoid color pooling. In this video I demonstrate how I keep the work neat while alternating two balls of yarn.

The Knitter's Pride 16” circulars I use in the video can be found here:

You can find more information about Knitter's Pride needles from these retailers:

The scarf pattern I mention in the video can be found here:

The hand-dye yarns I use in the video are both by Twisted Owl Fibers, more info here:

I Love your tutorials. You never make me feel stupid for clarifying simple things and make more complex things simple. I know how to knit largely due to you. Thank you

Omg I was just going to sign up for a class that costs $65 dollars at a local yarn shop (not including supplies) to explain the same thing you just did. You're making me want these needles!!

Even when you say it so many times, being able to see the actual technic as it goes, makes it super didactic! Well, I learn something today!!! So thank you! <3

I am just now confident enough in my Knitting to attempt helical knitting. Thank you, +VeryPinkKnits, for a such a well explained, flawlessly executed, easy to understand tutorial. Well done! You explained perfectly 🥰 I will be saving this to my watch list so I can refer back as/if needed.

This was perfect timing! I will be starting a knitted top soon with hand dyed yarn. Thank You for all of your videos I have learned so much from them!

Great video showing how to carry your yarn! This is the cleanest edge I've seen. Also, great visual on carrying yarn when knitting in the round. This one is going in my Knit Encyclopedia playlist.
Love your work... I've been watching for years. ❤

LOVE the Knitter's Pride Platinas! I'm partial to the Cubics, myself.

Hi Stacy! Always a pleasure watching your tutorials and this one was so timely for me. I'm a bit of an advance beginner and I've been looking and practicing how to knit a hat in the round and using two colors. Not kidding I've spent a whole afternoon trying and trying and watching videos, oh well? Gracias, gracias Stacy.
P.S. I love your little pep talks.

I am finding Portuguese knitting really easy to learn with your videos. Currently working on perfecting my tension. Perhaps a video about how to keep your tension even with Portuguese knitting?

I think this is your best to date knitting tip. Thank you so much.

Thanks so much for another great video! A bonus is now I have a great excuse to buy a second of the "specialty treat myself" bulky hand dyed yarn. My first thick 'n thin too. I know I can count on you for great tips and detailed video instruction :)

I've been a victim of color pooling! Thanks for the video. Now I've been enlightened. (btw I bought the 16" KP nova platina interchangeables last fall after seeing them on one of your videos and love them. )

Love your videos! Love watching you knit (I need to learn to flick better) and love seeing the yarns. Most importantly, I learned something about my new circular needles (ie using the key) - who knew? Thanks!!!

[jenblunt]

You have the best tutorials!! You're clear, informative and just so likable! XOXO

[judyhbaker]

Exactly what I need right now! I'm getting ready to swatch for a shawl using two skeins of hand dyed.

[angixm]
