Troubleshooting
Yarn won't stay in the canvas hole.
Ensure the yarn strand is fully pulled through and that the knot is secure. Check if the canvas holes are too large for the yarn thickness.
Running out of a specific yarn color.
Double-check the pattern to ensure correct color usage. If a mistake was made, unravel and re-hook. The kit provides ample yarn, so running out usually indicates an error in application.
Difficulty threading the yarn through the canvas.
Make sure the latch hook tool is fully inserted through the hole before attaching the yarn. Ensure the yarn is not frayed or too thick for the hook.
Finished rug looks uneven.
Try to maintain consistent tension when latching the yarn. Ensure each loop is pulled to a similar height. Slight variations are normal in handmade items.
