hints for how to tell if a yarn is going to tend to split

BEFORE you knit with it…
Take a bit of the yarn between your fingers of both hands, pull, tug and twist it a little. Then push it back against itself (about half inch will do). If the threads in the twist fall all apart ittjust might split while you are working with it.

Just knit with what you like. But on the other hand, if you plan on frogging alot (ripping out your knitting), I’d probably wouldn’t use it just for convenience sake. You can untwist the yarn while you are knitting, frogging, knitting, frogging, knitting, etc.

What you really need to watch out for is that slippery stuff. You haven’t knit yet till you try to keep some of that slippery stuff on your metal needles. LOL It’s impossible! You havent knit yet you will try to combine the yarn with something else or try and use wooden needles. I pass this tip on from experience.

Good luck!
