These Tools Completely Changed How I Do Colorwork
My Go-To Tools for Crochet Colorwork
If you’re working on graphgans or any kind of colorwork, these are the tools I actually use to keep things organized, tangle-free, and way less frustrating.
How I Use These Tools
Here’s a quick look at how I use bobbins and a bobbin holder in real time while working on a colorwork project.

Yarn Bobbins
How This Helps
These keep each color separate so my yarn doesn’t tangle while I’m working. I wind small amounts onto each bobbin so everything stays neat and easy to manage.

Bobbin Holder
How This Helps
This keeps all my bobbins in one place so the yarn feeds smoothly while I crochet. It stops everything from tangling or rolling around, which makes a big difference when you’re working with multiple colors.

Chart Holder
How This Helps
This holds my printed chart upright so it’s always visible while I’m working. I use the line guide to track exactly where I am in the pattern, which makes it much easier to follow along without losing my place.

Handmade Crochet Hooks
A Small Upgrade That Makes A Big Difference
This isn’t specific to colorwork, but once you’ve got your setup feeling a bit more organised, the next thing that can really change how crocheting feels is your hook.
I used to think a crochet hook was just… a crochet hook. But after switching to a handmade one, I noticed the difference straight away. It’s smoother, more comfortable to hold, and it just makes longer sessions feel a lot nicer.
It’s not something you need to get started, but if you crochet regularly, it’s one of those upgrades that makes the whole process feel more enjoyable
