I use Mandala yarn successfully with weights! No dropped stitches but I don't speed through the project either. One thing I noticed with Mandala is that there is a knot in some skeins that connect yarn to fill the skein. I'm not a fan of this. The knot is visible on the Sentro due to the usual looseness of the stitch. My solution is to cut the knot off and leave tails as if I'm enacting my own color change,. Ugh! Still though, I LOVE THIS YARN
You can try running Mandala with a strand of mohair (braided core for stretch) and see if you get better results. I have an Addi so I know it’s a bit different but it’s worth a shot. Mohair makes a lot more yarns functional in my Addi
Thank you. My Sentro 22 arrived yesterday and I made 2 beanies and 3 pumpkins. My machine HATES the Super Saver yarn, which is a real shame as I have so much of it. I have this thin orange miscellaneous yarn that I bought and it loves that stuff. I have no idea who makes it though. The Caron Simply Soft worked nicely too. I really wish the Super Saver worked. Does it make a difference what size Sentro you use? Because I went a bit crazy the other night and ordered the 40 and the 48 pin ones as well, but they are still in the mail, lol.
I found that when using Red Heart yarn, take a piece of fabric softener and run the yarn through it while you’re knitting as usual and use weights. 😊
That you for your suggestions appreciate it . ❤

I just bought a Sentro, made two hats and found one type of yarn kept getting stuck. Thank you for this. 👏🏼👏🏼

Very helpful 🥰 Thank you so much
Could you make a video on best yarns for summer/hot weather?
It would be great if you included info about pricing, but great informative video nevertheless
Do you have used any rayon or Rayon from bamboo like Truboo from Lion brand?
Thanks you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. Great work!❤
