If you've ever looked down mid-project and spotted a jammed carriage or a run of dropped stitches, yarn weight could well be the culprit. The good news is that with a little know-how, it's one of the easiest problems to avoid.

Every domestic machine has a yarn weight range it knits well. Using yarn that's too thick or too thin leads to jammed carriages, dropped stitches, and a lot of frustration.

: Check your machine's recommended yarn weight โ most standard gauge machines work best with 4-ply. When in doubt, do a test run on a few rows before committing to a full project. And check out the interactive yarn guide in the classroom โ it will help you get an answer quickly.
What yarn frustrations have you experienced? Let me know in the comments โ I'd love to hear how you get on. ๐
