Question- steam blocking

23h • MYAL 2026

Is it best practice to place stitches onto waste yarn and steam after each clue? When working on an all over color work project? It was very satisfying seeing my stitches relax, as I was worried about the outcome of mixing different yarn types and how they would lay together. I also don’t see how it can affect my gauge as I continue? Am I thinking correctly? I’m very interested in how everyone approaches these projects. Thank you.
