Yarn is splitting while knitting.
Ensure your needles are smooth and not too sharp. Try using a slightly larger needle size or knitting with a looser tension.
Color variations seem uneven.
Be sure to alternate skeins of yarn throughout your project to balance the color distribution. Also, consider the pattern's construction and how it might affect the visual flow of the marble effect.
