Troubleshooting
Yarn tangling during use
Work with smaller sections of yarn at a time and keep the remaining yarn bundles organized and contained.
Difficulty inserting yarn into canvas loops
Ensure the latch hook tool is fully inserted into the loop before closing the latch and pulling the yarn through. Check that the canvas is not overly stiff.
Finished design looks uneven
Ensure each loop is pulled with consistent tension. Verify that you are consistently hooking into the correct canvas holes as indicated by the printed pattern.
Canvas feels too stiff or too loose
While the canvas is designed for durability, slight variations can occur. If too stiff, gentle handling during hooking is advised. If too loose, ensure you are not pulling yarn with excessive force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Begin by ensuring you have a clean, well-lit workspace. Unpack all components: the printed canvas, yarn bundles, latch hook tool, chart, and instructions. Identify the yarn colors according to the chart and begin hooking by following the printed design on the canvas. Insert the yarn through the canvas loops using the latch hook tool.
Compatibility: This kit is a self-contained unit. The components are designed to work together. The Zweigart canvas is compatible with standard latch hook tools.
Care: The finished cushion is handwash only. Use cool water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring. Lay flat on a clean towel to air dry, reshaping as needed. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent color fading.
