Troubleshooting
Yarn splitting during knitting
Ensure you are using 3.25 mm needles and check that your needle tips are not overly sharp or damaged.

Your tension may be too tight; try moving up to a 3.5 mm needle if the pattern gauge allows, or relax your grip while knitting.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Machine washable for easy maintenance
- High yardage of 226m per 50g ball
- Hypoallergenic feel due to the synthetic blend
- Retains shape and softness after multiple washes
Cons
- Not suitable for those preferring natural animal or plant fibers
- Requires specific 3.25 mm needles which may not be in every starter set

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your project, ensure you are using 3.25 mm knitting needles to meet the standard tension requirements of this 4 ply yarn. Before starting a large garment, it is highly recommended to knit a tension square to verify your stitches per inch match your chosen pattern.
Care instructions are straightforward: machine wash at a maximum of 40 degrees Celsius using a gentle cycle. When drying, tumble dry on a cool setting or lay flat to dry to preserve the integrity of the fibers. Always check your garment's specific care label if you have mixed this yarn with other materials in a single project.
