    I don’t know if somebody else already commented about the red heart ombre colors. But yes, I have definitely noticed a change. It seems to be dependent on where it’s made. If the label says made in turkey, you get one color shading, and if it says made in the USA you get another. It doesn’t matter about dye lots.
    I was using jazzy for a blanket. I had picked up five skeins at Joann fabrics and didn’t realize the difference in the colors until I got back home. Two of them were much brighter than the other three. I started with the darker one. But then, when I got to the bright ones, it did not blend in at all. I had to search stores to find two more skeins That were made in turkey so that they would match. A big difference. Check your labels to make sure that you are getting ones that match.

    Learned pooling about 5 or 6 years ago. Used Red Heart Icelandic to crochet a scarf using the moss stitch. It got on my nerves at times as your tension and stitch size has to be spot on. There were some places where the dye change was not the same length as previously on the skein . The end product was heavy. Kept it until recently, donated it to a charity and I believe they sold it for around $30. When crocheting a pooled item, atleast when learning, make sure you have no distractions. Enjoy learning!🙂

    Hey Crystal. I noticed a difference in the Red Heart Super Saver Ombre when I ordered the Berber Afghan at Mary Maxim with the True Blue Ombre. The difference is that the original Red Heart Super Saver Ombre and the Red Heart Super Saver Solids were made in the USA with imported fibers; while the new Red Heart Super Saver Ombre is made in Turkey and the Red Heart Super Saver Solids are made in India. A quick way to see which yarn is which is to look for the little American flag below the Red Heart Logo on the label-this is the original yarn; while the yarn without the American flag is the new yarn.

    Yes! Thank you for doing this! I started a blanket using the dark teal. I only had 2 skeins from Joann's and had to order 2 more from Walmart. When they arrived, they were totally different...the color was more green and much lighter. I went back to Joann's, and there was one like my original, and the rest were somewhere between the original and the washed-out version. I bought a couple of the middle-toned skeins and did a tonal progression throughout the blanket. Dark, middle, light, middle, dark. It was a bit tricky trying to match the yarn when I changed skeins. I also noticed in the lighter versions that the transition in the ombre wasn't nearly as smooth as in the original (darker) skeins. Some were pretty sharp. The blanket turned out well, but the ombre yarn is definitely going through some kind of issue.

    The RH ombrés look like they’ve been sun bleached. That’s disappointing. I really like the darker/brighter ones. You & Mr.Bod are so funny. I definitely enjoy his commentary. The prices are the same here in FL. I made an argyle throw in purples and pinks, but I used the actual pooling yarn. It came out absolutely gorgeous. I’m sure the blue striping is going to look beautiful too. Seems any color combination works up into a masterpiece. How fun you met a subscriber. What a nice gift she made for everyone too.

I only knew how to do a normal stitch, but it was so much fun. I tried using a very large wooden loom that was like 122 stitches across, but sadly that became too heavy very quickly and I only managed to make three very short scarves. Watching your channel has helped me to not be so bitter about losing yet another thing that I love to my disease, so I thank you.

    You have such a great eye and memory to recall colors and prices! You are amazing! My local Super Walmart is going through remodeling/transformation. I noticed the yarn and fabric section is shrinking again. This is not good for our community. I like to look and touch the yarns. I find it very challenging to shop online for yarn. Thank you so much for all your tips.

    Thank you for taking us with you. The colors look like they have less dye? It was so cute that you got the gift from the lady that watches you ❤❤

    I would really love to see how you work up the the pooling method. I’ve never caught on to anyone’s instructions but it’s so neat to see done.

    I totally agree about Mainstays yarn vs. Red Heart. Mainstays is so much softer, which is really unexpected in a cheap yarn. Loved the tour!

    Hi Crystal and Erik. I love shopping with you guys. I noticed the colors were slightly different the last time that I bought them myself. They need to change the names when they do that. I can't wait to see you work them up so they pool.

    I actually like the Mainstay. I've used that dark grey and some of the other colors. Thank you, Crystal.

    I made my grandson a C2C blanket with Mandala Ombre. I washed it for the first time last night and it was softer and prettier than when I made it. I LOVE that stuff for blankets.

    I absolutely love the main stay yarn!!! It is fabulous to work with, and my projects come out with nice vibrant colors. Also all the main stay variegated will color pool. I became obsessed with color pooling and tried all of them lol. They come out beautiful! Happy yarn shopping😊

    I prefer the old colours too. I’m excited to learn how to do pooling. Especially with you as the teacher. You’re the best. 🙋🏼‍♀️💜🇨🇦

    I really like the Mainstays yarn. I've used the variegated blue, black and pink. It works up so fast and is softer than Red Heart. I've used Red Heart for years, and it stands up to constant washing and trying in the past. Thanks for showing the color difference. 😇🙂

    I love watching you two together. I always buy the cones of cotton at Wal-Mart because it's cheaper. I like the old colors of Red Heart..

    I love this video you guys are so fun. You put a smile on my face everyday Crystal. Everytime you say I think I must be talking too much and that we must be sick of listening to you, that is so far from the truth I love listening to you. I have only been watching your videos for a couple months and I look forward to them everyday.😅

    Hi Crystal! I also noticed that the yarn felt a bit different to me as well! No one had mentioned anything about it so I thought maybe I was imagining it

    Thank you guys for taking us along, especially for those of us that don't live in the States, Crystal I had to laugh when you said you remembered when a certain yarn was only 87c, its still cheaper now than here, there's still a good selection there, but even buying yarn online I've noticed certain colour changes to the usual, any way loved the shopping trip 😂❤❤❤❤❤

    Oooh those are different! It is for sure not as nice of an ombre without the darkest color. Thanks for spotting this change! Have a creative day - Kim
