Troubleshooting

Yarn is splitting during knitting/crocheting.

Adjust your needle or hook size. Ensure your tension is consistent. Use a yarn needle to split the yarn and ensure the hook or needle captures all strands.

Color appears inconsistent across a project.

If you are using multiple skeins, alternate skeins every few rows or rounds to minimize any noticeable color differences. This is more critical if the dye lots differ.
