crafty_packratSo, I pulled out my other ball of Crystal Palace Mini Mochi in 'Intense Rainbow' to make the Jasmine Lace Scarf to match my Jasmine Lace Mitts -- but I noticed a knot under the first layer of yarn.
Since you can usually match up the yarn and smooth out color gradations by careful splicing, I peeled off the first layer, untied the knot (greenish yellow to orange), and looked at the other end to see if I could match the colors up better -- which I could.
Except in the course of rewinding the ball, I found another knot, blue to purple. Two knots in one 50 gram ball is ridiculous -- one knot you do occasionally get, but I had a knot in the other ball of this yarn that I used to make my Jasmine Mitts.
Has anyone else worked with Mini Mochi? Are knots common? I don't mind an occasional knot, but 3 knots per 2 balls is not a good ratio!
