Troubleshooting

Color pooling or striping in the finished fabric

Try alternating between two different balls of yarn every two rows to distribute the color segments more evenly.

Stitches appear uneven or too loose

Verify your gauge by knitting a 10cm x 10cm square with 4mm needles and adjust needle size up or down if necessary.

Yarn snagging during use

Ensure your needles or hooks are free of burrs and consider using bamboo or polished wood tools for a smoother experience.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking variegated color gradients
  • Generous 345m length per ball
  • Machine washable at 30 degrees
  • Soft texture suitable for garments
  • Consistent tension for easy stitching

Cons

  • Variegated pattern can cause pooling in certain stitch counts

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the recommended tension of 22 stitches and 28 rows, use standard 4mm needles or a corresponding crochet hook. Always knit a tension square before starting your project to ensure your gauge matches the pattern requirements. For care, items crafted with Aurora DK can be machine washed at 30 degrees. Always use a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry to maintain the yarn's shape and softness over time. Avoid bleaching and intense heat, as these can compromise the synthetic fibers and color vibrancy.
