    Your tips are EXACTLY what I needed!!! My plush was rounding right at the beginning and I had no idea why!! Now I know I need use a bigger hook or add more stitches. Thank you so much!! 💜🎃💜

    Thanks for the tips! I tend the have a cone shape with the start of my projects that use thicker yarn. But I am using the recommend hook size. I might try to go up one more size and see if that helps. Thanks!

    I hope it helps! Also, depending on the project, the slight cone shape sometimes doesn't matter as it can sometimes get minimised by stuffing etc.

    Hi, great tips, but my problems is when sewing in my ends they keep coming out. I have tried using long strands and weaving them into the stitches but at the very last entry point it still comes out. I have made several toys for my grandkids and after time they look terrible with all the strands coming out. Not sure what I"m doing wrong, i think its because the yarn is a bit silky so works tis way out easily or is it just me. Do you have any tips for this please? thanks Mandy

    Hi! I struggle a lot with this type of yarn. I’ve been crocheting for years, but just started out with this type of yarn. When I crochet with this yarn some stitches on the outside “bubble”. They poke out and it looks super ugly. I’ve tried crocheting a bit tighter but it didn’t solve the problem. On the internet I couldn’t find a solution so lets try here! Tips and tricks please!😅

    Get soapy water and gently massage it i guess? Dry in the sun if the yarn is okay with it. Sometimes the yarn will have instructions to only dry in the shade.

    hello! fellow aussie here! so how do you get the hobbii yarn? I'm assuming that you order it from canada (which is where the brand is located) or is there a place in aus that does it. Do you reccommend any yarns that you can get in australia at like spotlight? Wanting to do this but dont wanna wait forever for yarn to be shipped from canada!! :)))

    Hey! I wish Spotlight or Lincraft stocked yarn like this! I get Hobbii yarn from their website (delivery is from Denmark and pretty quick) or I order James C Brett from Lovecrafts online. You might find some Himalaya Dolphin Baby which is very similar, in the mill end bins in spotlight (4 pack for $10). I’m waiting for Australia to catch up honestly 😂

For yarn like that I typically use a 4.75, and it works great for me! I would go no lower than 4.25 if you choose that route, either. Hope this helps!
