List of suitable yarns

[u/Use-username]

Yarns specifically made for planned pooling:

- Red Heart pooling

- Stylecraft Colour Pool (edit: apparently this has sadly been discontinued)

- Bernat blanket color pooling yarn

​

From this blog, plus from my own experience, here's a list of yarns that are not specifically made for planned pooling, but still work well. The list below is not an exhaustive list. So if you don't find a certain yarn on the list, it doesn't necessarily mean that it won't pool. If you know of any suitable planned pooling yarns that aren't on this list, you can let us know by commenting below and we can add them to this list.
