Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I think when you turn your work you need to make sure you turn back and forth, not round and round.

Pix also had success by altering how she tensioned the yarn.

I also tend to pull yarn from the centre of a ball, rather the outside, which some people says helps.

When you've eliminated the obvious casues such as twisting your work...
*Some* yarns seem to untwist as they are knitted, causing a twist further towards the ball. When I see this happening I deliberately add the twist back as I knit by just rolling the yarn slightly with each stitch.

Thanks all. I suppose as I'm knitting on circulars I'm adding a twist there anyway. I'll give your all suggestions a try.

I think second sleeve syndrome is even worse than second sock syndrome
