Smoothing unravelled wool
Do you ever have to unravel any knitting and worry about the crinkle in the wool?  Well use Kathy Smart’s hint.  Sprinkle the balled wool with some water, the place the balled wool in some plastic and put it  in the micro oven for a few minutes.  The wool will return to its former smooth straight state. Kathy suggests that you use 1-2 minutes for each 100 grams.  BE VERY CAREFUL AS WOOL WILL BURN IF LEFT IN THE MICROVEN TOO LONG.

When knitting with a nobbly or uneven yarn, place a key ring on the end of the tension mast and thread the yarn through the ring. It flows more evenly.

Mark the number of prings on the opposite end of the transfer tool wil a permanent marker e.g. on the three by one tool put one dot at the end of the three prongs and three dots at the end of one prong. Do this on both sides of the tool. It is helpful when you keep your tools in an upright container.

When knitting several fine yarns together, thread them through a small piece of drinking straw before you thread them through the tension mast. This helps the looping and twisting that can occur.
