Troubleshooting

Yarn is breaking easily while knitting/crocheting.

Ensure that your needles/hook are smooth and free from any rough edges. Check your tension and avoid pulling the yarn too tightly. Consider using a slightly larger needle/hook size.

Finding it difficult to see the stitches.

Use a well-lit area while working. Choose a simple pattern with clear stitch definition. Consider using contrasting colors to highlight the stitches.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Needle/Hook Size: Use the recommended needle or hook size specified on the yarn label for your chosen pattern to achieve the desired gauge.

  • Fastening Off: Due to the yarn's fluffy nature, when fastening off, remove approximately 6 to 10 centimeters of the chenille at the end and sew in the exposed inner cord to secure your work.
  • Washing: Hand wash gently in cool water. Avoid harsh detergents. Lay flat to dry.
  • Storage: Store finished projects and yarn in a clean, dry place to prevent damage and maintain the yarn's quality.
