Troubleshooting
Yarn tangles easily
Work with manageable lengths of yarn, and avoid pulling too hard. Ensure the spool is not rolling freely and becoming tangled.
Finished project feels rough
Ensure your tension is consistent. Using larger needles or hooks can sometimes create a softer fabric.
Yarn breaks during use
Check for any snags or rough edges on your tools. Do not pull the yarn too forcefully, especially at knots or joins.
Color seems uneven
This is characteristic of natural paper materials. Embrace the subtle variations as part of the rustic charm.
