Troubleshooting
Thread fraying while stitching
Use shorter lengths of wool (under 18 inches) to reduce the amount of friction as the yarn passes through the canvas holes.
Wool knots or tangles
Gently smooth the strand between your fingers before pulling it through the canvas and ensure you are pulling the thread straight through the hole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To start your project, ensure you are using the correct needle size suitable for your chosen canvas count to prevent fraying the wool. When working with DMC Tapestry Wool, cut your thread into manageable 12-18 inch lengths to minimize friction and wear on the yarn as you pull it through the canvas.
- Storage: Keep wool in a cool, dry place inside an airtight container or cedar-lined box to protect it from fabric-eating pests.
- Care: If your finished piece needs cleaning, hand wash it gently in cold water with a mild detergent designed for wool. Lay the project flat to dry to maintain its original shape.
