Troubleshooting
Yarn feels sticky or snagging
Ensure the needle surface is clean. Wipe gently with a dry, soft cloth. If the issue persists, a light buffing with a natural wood polish might help restore the smooth glide.
Needle feels unbalanced
Check if the needle is warped or damaged. While durable, extreme conditions could affect the wood. Ensure you are using the correct size needle for your yarn and project.
