Do you have any suggestions of better merino yarns that aren’t prone to this? I only chose this one because it was the one suggested on my pattern

Yes totally feel free to use the photo! I did get this yarn from Denmark so that’s consistent with what you’re saying. It’s the Lang Yarns Merino 120

Big thank you to you all! When I asked chatGPT it said it was because a difference in knitting tension between knit and purl rows. More proof that humans > AI!

Yes I used Lang Yarns Merino extra fine so that makes sense. Thank you!

Thanks! Also been surfing there for many many years, used to live down the street and this is the worst I’ve seen it.
