Troubleshooting
Yarn tangles easily during use.
Unwind yarn carefully, and consider using a yarn bowl to keep the ball contained and prevent it from rolling away and creating knots.
Stitches appear less defined than expected.
This is characteristic of very soft yarns. For projects requiring high stitch definition, consider using simpler stitches or a firmer tension. For comfort items, the softness is a desired quality.
Finished item feels stretched after washing.
Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid excessive heat during drying and lay flat to dry when possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a yarn product, so "setup" refers to the preparation for use in crafting. Ensure you have appropriate knitting needles or crochet hooks suitable for a standard yarn weight (typically DK or Aran, check the yarn band for specific recommendations). Unravel the yarn gently from the ball to avoid tangles.
Compatibility: King Cole Yummy yarn is compatible with most standard knitting and crochet patterns designed for its weight. It works well with various stitch types, though extremely intricate patterns might be less visible due to the yarn's inherent softness.

- Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cool water.
- Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting or lay flat to air dry.
- Do not iron.
