Troubleshooting

Yarn is splitting or snagging while knitting.

Ensure you are using the correct needle size (4mm/US6) and that your needles are smooth. Adjust your tension if needed. Check for any rough spots on your needles.

Finished item feels scratchy.

Wash the item with a fabric softener. Ensure you have not used too tight a tension during the knitting or crocheting process. Some individuals may be more sensitive to the polyester content.

The sparkle effect is less pronounced than expected.

Ensure adequate lighting to highlight the sparkle. Experiment with different stitch patterns to allow the glitter to catch the light better. Check the yarn label for optimal conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This yarn is compatible with standard 4mm/US6 knitting needles. The care for this yarn is straightforward due to its machine-washable properties. It's recommended to wash finished items on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals that could damage the yarn's fibres or affect the sparkle effect. Tumble dry on a low setting or lay flat to dry for best results to maintain the item's shape and prevent shrinkage. Always follow the care instructions on the pattern and test a small swatch before washing the entire project.
