Troubleshooting
Yarn splitting during knitting
Ensure you are using high-quality needles and check your tension to ensure the yarn is not being pulled too tightly across the needle tip.
Finished item feels scratchy after washing
Verify that you are using a mild detergent and avoid using harsh fabric softeners or bleach, which can coat the fibers and alter their natural softness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, start your project by knitting a tension swatch of at least 12cm by 12cm using 4mm needles to confirm you hit the recommended 28 stitches and 28 rows per 10cm. If your swatch is too tight, move up to a 4.5mm needle; if too loose, move down to a 3.75mm needle. For care, always wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fibers. When tumble drying, use a low-heat setting to preserve the soft finish of the yarn. Store leftover yarn in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation.
