Does the color change occur at regular intervals?

Troubleshooting

Yarn is splitting while knitting.

Ensure your needles are smooth and use a slower, more even knitting tension. Try different needle materials (e.g., wood or bamboo).

Stripes appear uneven or distorted.

Check your knitting tension and ensure it is consistent throughout the project. Check your pattern and the direction of your rows.

Project looks different from expected.

Remember that stripe width will vary between a pieced design and a circular design. Review your pattern and adapt if necessary. Make a gauge swatch.
