Troubleshooting

Yarn is splitting while knitting or crocheting.

Use a sharper needle or hook, or try adjusting your tension. Ensure your needle/hook size matches the yarn weight and project requirements.

Finished project is not the expected size.

Check your gauge before starting the project. Adjust needle/hook size to achieve the correct gauge.

Color appears different in person than on screen.

Color representation varies between screens. Consider ordering a small amount first to ensure the color meets your expectations or try to view the color in natural light if possible.

Yarn feels scratchy.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent when washing. The wool may soften with each wash.
