Ensure you are using the correct needle/hook size for the yarn weight. Hold the yarn at a different angle as you work to see if it improves stability. Check for any snags on your needles or hooks.

Ensure you have followed the care instructions precisely. Sometimes, excessive heat during drying can affect the softness of cotton. Try drying flat or on a lower heat setting. A gentle fabric softener designed for natural fibers may help.

If you notice dye lot variations, try to alternate skeins every few rows (e.g., knit two rows with one skein, then two rows with another) to blend the colors more evenly. Always check dye lots match if possible when purchasing.

Always knit or crochet a gauge swatch before starting your main project. Adjust your needle or hook size accordingly. If the swatch is too loose, use a smaller size; if too tight, use a larger size.
