Presents a confusing problem

I've only knitted half a dozen projects so far so I'm new to knitting. This is my first time working with this yarn. If you are also a beginner, this yarn presents some challenges that I have not encountered before. Because it's so fluffy it can be difficult to see the stitches when knitting, and inside the fluff is a core of about three white threads that make up the core of the yarn - it's pretty easy (or at least it was for me). between the three white threads and from time to time bring at least one of them to the wrong side of the needle. All of the above issues may be due to my inexperience, which is why I'm not deducting a star for that. What annoyed me the most was that each strand consisted of about three parts connected by big ugly knots. I thought maybe I was just unlucky with the first skein, but I used 3 skeins of this yarn and each had stiff, lumpy knots. Finally, I cut out the knots and braided the ends as if I was going to switch colors throughout the project. There may be better ways to avoid knots and I think experienced knitters would have fewer problems than I did, but still, this is the last time I'll be using this yarn for anything. To be honest, I ended the project with just this yarn (instead of throwing it away and starting over with another brand) because I'm fueled by a reliable supply of stubbornness.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • old
