Troubleshooting

Work with smaller sections of yarn at a time. Ensure the yarn is not pulled too tightly through the canvas.

Difficulty using the latch hook tool

Ensure the tool is correctly inserted through the canvas hole before hooking the yarn. Refer to the included instructions for visual guidance.

Uneven texture on finished cushion

Try to maintain consistent tension when pulling the yarn loops. Ensure each loop is pulled through securely but not excessively tight.

Running out of a specific yarn color
