I normally just soak it a bit and then lay it out flat being sure to smooth it the way I want it.Karenhttp://nothingbutknit2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354340039468970774.post-68094230275648021182011-09-28T11:51:20.605+01:002011-09-28T11:51:20.605+01:00I know what you mean about being a yarn snob, I am...I know what you mean about being a yarn snob, I am too, I can't help it!

It definitely does need it, it looks so much better after. What I did was gently steam with the iron and pat out to shape, short bursts so you don't overdo it!pinkundinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994450142485371131noreply@blogger.com
