How do you get the frizzy yarn to not stay trapped under each knit stitch? I am just about to give up on using this yarn!
Gosh, I have this problem too. Really annoying. There isn’t any way to prevent this that I know of, but I can only fix it after the fact. I do a row of stitches, and when I get to the end I take the empty needle and rub it back and forth quickly along the stitches on the other needle. This helps the frizz come out from under the stitches. Not the best solution, but it’s what I do. And yes, I have given up on this yarn. I have a half finished scarf in my drawer. Hopefully I will go back to it soon. I think I might try and contact the manufacturer to see if they have a solution. Good luck! :/
Oh, fudge! I answered my own question! 🙁
thanks….
I love this pillow and I am looking forward to making it for my daughter’s room. Does anyone know the finished size? I would like to use a down pillow form. Thanks
Would like to know if the size of the needles are in US or metric.
What is approximate finished size of pillow? I have a down-filled pillow form that I would like to use if possible. I can’t wait to make it for my daughter’s new room!
Thank you.
I LUV PILLOWS! ESPESHILY SOFTY SOFT ONES THAT I CAN SQUEEZE THE STUFFING OUT OF!
