Troubleshooting
Yarn tangling

Stitches look uneven
Ensure consistent tension when making each stitch. Refer to the chart for the correct stitch formation. Practice on a corner of the canvas.
Difficulty threading the needle
Twist the end of the yarn slightly or use a needle threader if you have one. Ensure the yarn end is not frayed.
Running out of a specific yarn color
While unlikely with a new kit, carefully check if all provided yarn is accounted for. Contact customer support if a significant amount appears to be missing.
