Is this yarn suitable for beginners?

What is a 'dye lot'?
A dye lot is a batch of yarn dyed at the same time. It's important to use yarn from the same dye lot to ensure consistent colour throughout your project.
Troubleshooting
Yarn is tangling during knitting.
Ensure the yarn ball is placed in a yarn bowl or a container that allows the yarn to unwind smoothly. Check for knots in the yarn before starting your project.
Colour appears different than expected.
Check the dye lot of the yarn to ensure consistency. Consider the lighting conditions when assessing the colour. If purchasing multiple balls, ensure they are from the same dye lot.
