Troubleshooting
Yarn tangling during use
Ensure you are pulling yarn from the center of the ball if it's designed to be worked that way, or from the outside. Avoid excessive tension when winding or unwinding.
Stitches appearing uneven
Check your knitting needle or crochet hook size. Ensure your tension is consistent. The smooth texture of this yarn helps with even stitches, so practice can improve consistency.
Color bleeding after washing
While the yarn retains color well, always wash dark colors separately for the first few washes, especially with new or brightly dyed yarns. Ensure you are washing within the recommended temperature guidelines (40°C).
