Dip the cable part in boiling water (not for very long-you don’t want the cable to melt!
) and then pull them straight. That should take care of the curling problem. ![]()
My experience - and remember that I use cheap circs - is that the curl is a pain in the bum at the beginning but improves over the first few inches of knitting. I just fight my way through the first couple of inches. Since I store my circs curled up wouldn’t dipping them in boiling water have to be done every time I start somehting new?
Pretty much, yes.
I used to use a hairdryer on mine. very carefully so you don’t melt it.
heat it up and then tug on it.
