Troubleshooting

Yarn is splitting while knitting.

Ensure you are using the correct needle size (6mm) and that the needles are not too sharp. Try knitting with a slightly looser tension.

The finished item is not the correct size.

Check your tension square to ensure it matches the pattern's specifications. Adjust your needle size if necessary to achieve the correct gauge.

The yarn feels rough after washing.

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and avoiding excessive heat in the dryer. Consider using a fabric softener.
