Sorry Denise, I took it that you were talking about homespun as in you did
the spinning, however I see that it is a type of knitting yarn, disregard
all I said in my first post it does not apply

Hi everyone!

I'm still working on this lapghan and had some questions about using
Homespun.

If the unused thread bunches down, does that mean I'm knitting too tight?
Do you usually keep pulling the bunched up yarn toward the ball as you work?
Do I need to try to keep it from happening altogether, since I don't know
how this is going to affect the stitches as I knit them? If I keep doing
it, the yarn starts to wind on itself... and sometimes I just knit the
bunched yarn once in awhile, hoping that it doesn't leave a large hole
later.

Thanks,
Denise

Hi Denise,
Lion's Homespun requires a light touch, as it is *like* a roving with yarn
corkscrewed around it... I'd say you are knitting too too tightly.
See Monica's answer, she words it much more eloquently than I.
