Can this yarn split some more please?

I casted on for the bias top without a care in the world...lalala..until I realized that my needles are too long and the freaking yarn just splits into 5 or more plies.

I'm using Lion Brand microspun, like the pattern suggested, and man does it suck! ok I'm not really being fair here, the yarn was 2.50 a skein at AC Moore for crying out loud and it is pretty soft, and the colors are great, but damn I hate splitty yarn! And what is it with this lion yarn, any kind I get I end up finding a huge knot in it.

Yarn that's tied together in the middle of the skein...now that's quality!

Doesn't it look like underwear?!

underoos?

oooooh, i've used that stuff. Its hard as heck. Its unwinding is really difficult, but once i got far enough into it, it stopped.did that happen to you?

Yikes! I hate to hear that you're having such a bad time with the yarn. On a happy note, I love the colors you're using! :)/hugs!

thanks guys, I love pink!I haven't found any more knots in the yarn so far, but it keeps splitting. sometimes I think I dropped a stitch when really it's just some of the threads that split. so I just have to be careful with counting how many actual stitches I have.

I love the colors you chose! I have to figure how to make that with something other than microspun..
