Troubleshooting
Yarn splitting while knitting
Ensure you are using smooth, high-quality needles and maintain a consistent, relaxed tension.
Finished project feels too stiff
Try increasing your needle size by 0.5mm to create a looser, softer fabric drape.
Color mismatch between balls
Always verify that the dye lot numbers printed on the ball bands match before starting your project.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, always knit a tension swatch to match the recommended 22 stitches and 30 rows per 10cm. If your swatch is too tight, move up to a 4.5mm needle; if it is too loose, try a 3.75mm needle. When caring for finished projects, you can machine wash them using a cool cycle. Avoid high-heat drying to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers; instead, lay garments flat on a towel to dry. Always check the dye lot number on the ball band to ensure all yarn used for a single project is from the same batch to avoid subtle color variations.
