Troubleshooting
Yarn splitting while knitting

Uneven color pooling
If the 'daubs' start to pool in unwanted areas, try using a slightly different needle size or switching to a different stitch pattern to break up the color flow.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Sophisticated color transitions resemble artistic brushwork
- Soft, silky hand-feel perfect for scarves and sweaters
- Versatile aran weight works up quickly
- Consistent quality across different shades
Cons
- Requires careful tension management due to multi-colored yarn structure
- Limited to a specific aesthetic style not suited for plain monochromatic projects
- Must be hand-washed or treated carefully to preserve the silky finish
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, start by winding your 100g balls into center-pull cakes to avoid tangling while working. The yarn is compatible with most 4.50mm knitting needles or equivalent crochet hooks, though you may need to adjust based on your specific tension. For care, it is recommended to hand wash your finished items in cool water with a mild detergent. Lay the project flat to dry to maintain the integrity of the silky fibers and prevent stretching. Avoid high-heat ironing, as this can degrade the texture of the yarn.
