Noro Yarn - breaking while knitting?

Jun 28, 2007 1 Replies

I have been using and enjoying several kinds of Noro Yarn, but the last two projects have both been a bugger in that it broke on me several times. Has anyone else had this challenge on Noro Yarns. In all fairness, I have only had this problem with two kinds of Noro yarns:



Aurora Yarn Blossom Yarn



Both yarns are silk blends, could be a clue in why they part so easily?



My wife accused me of being a "knitting bully" by working the yarn to hard, but she also had it come apart with her knitting as well. Mine parted a couple times while winding it from my swift to my ball winder.



Padishar Creel



PS Of course my local yarn shop will stand behind the yarn, no questions asked so it is not a serious problem, but a damned nuisance just the same.



Since silk is the strongest natural fiber known I doubt the silk content is responsible for the breakage.

I've not worked with either yarn but I do use Kureyon and Silk Garden pretty regularly. Both of those yarns have a tendency to drift apart at color changes where the yarn isn't twisted as tightly as it should be.
