I have the small Addi machine to make iCords on. I'm totally stumped with what is going here. Why is the cord so lumpy? What am I doing wrong? This is the about 5th time I've attempted the cord. Does any one have any advice. Thanks in advance.

I've had this yarn for years and I've done nothing with it. I didn't think it works for through me Addi machine as it nearly killed the Sentro I had. I saw a lady using this yarn on FB, so decided to give it a go. She suggested 90 rows for as beanie. I got 86 rows out of two balls of yarn. I've got to finish the ends, but I'm very excited!!

I'm excited as I have just received my yarn ball winder today. I've been pondering for ages in getting one and finally I gave in. She was a bargain at £12 brand new on eBay from £48 on Amazon. It goes to show you can still get a bargain if you look around. I'm a very happy woman. She works a treat and is easy to set up. So thank you @Paul Brown for your advice . 👍🏻😊.
