Dear users and authors,
how can you gently remove or prevent knots in wool?

I try using a fork or a needle, and if that doesn’t work, I cut

them out. I’m also wondering how to prevent them from forming in the first place.......

A few kind words for the yarn might help. ;)

I always curse at the yarn 😠and threaten it with the scissors. It usually works 😄

Thanks for the comment—I had a good laugh at that! That idea hadn’t even occurred to me. I always end up taking the ball of yarn and throwing it against the wall out of frustration, but that’s never helped... I’ll try swearing at it now... grin

Complaining or swearing—those are my options in this case.
