Troubleshooting

Yarn is splitting while knitting.

Ensure you are using the correct needle size for the yarn weight. Try a slightly sharper needle tip if the issue persists. Avoid pulling the yarn too tightly when knitting.

Finished project is not the correct size.

Check your gauge before starting the project. If your gauge is off, adjust your needle size or knitting tension.

The fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using the correct washing cycle (wool cycle) and avoid using too much detergent. Consider using a fabric softener.
