Troubleshooting

Yarn is splitting while knitting/crocheting.

Ensure you are using the correct needle size (6mm/US10). Adjust your tension if needed. Try a different needle material, such as wood or bamboo, which may grip the yarn better.

Color changes not appearing as expected.

Review your pattern instructions to ensure the color changes are being worked as intended. The color sequence is determined by the manufacturing process and cannot be altered.
