Troubleshooting
Color stripes are not appearing as expected.
Check your pattern instructions carefully and ensure that you're working the correct number of rows or rounds between color changes. Also, ensure you are not cutting the yarn at color changes, instead carrying it up the side.
Yarn is splitting while knitting or crocheting.
Ensure your hook or needles are the correct size and not too sharp. Try using a slightly larger hook or needle size.
