My hook seems to catch a strand every sc,dc etc…but I love it too much to let it go…I eventually got used to the annoying snag here and there…I love how soft it is and the final product is well worth the minor aggravation I feel while making the item. Also if I use a hook that is a bit more blunt I find my Simply Soft doesn’t catch as much…saldy I have misplaced the to hooks that I had that were perfect for this yarn
