Troubleshooting

Yarn is tangling while knitting or crocheting.

Ensure the yarn ball is placed correctly and that the yarn is feeding smoothly. Check for any knots or snags in the yarn before starting the project.

Project looks uneven or the stitches are inconsistent.

Ensure consistent tension throughout the project. Use the recommended needle size for the yarn. Review the pattern to ensure that the correct techniques are being used.

Colors look different from the picture.

Color variations can occur between different dye lots. If you're working on a larger project, ensure that all the yarn used is from the same dye lot. If the color difference is significant, consider returning the yarn.
