Troubleshooting
Yarn is splitting while knitting.
Ensure you are using the correct needle size and not pulling the yarn too tightly. Try a slightly larger needle size.
Colors are not transitioning as expected.
Check your pattern instructions and ensure you are working the correct number of rows or rounds between color changes. Also, make sure the yarn ball is not tangled.
Finished item feels scratchy.
Make sure you have washed the item properly with a wool-friendly detergent. The superwash treatment usually makes the yarn soft, but some sensitivity is possible.
