Knots, the knitter's worst nightmare, are even worse for dyers.We try to avoid them at all costs but unfortunately there comes a time when you just can't avoid having one in your skein.
We all have different methods of compensating for knots, and here is what I do here at GSY:

• if a skein has 1 knot in it, I add an extra 5 metres
• if it has 2 knots, you get an extra 10 metres
• any more than 2 knots and I discount the price of the skein and make sure you know why it's discounted!

I do my best to avoid having knots at all.
