Knitting is widely regarded as a stress-relieving activity but frequently having to stop and untangle yarn is anything but pleasant—fortunately, patent-pending O'GO technology helps to keep yarn tangle-free. Additionally, the format helps to provide a quick start and a faster finish.
Baby Boomers, Gen X and Millennials alike have shown interest in knitting and as the brand estimates, "Over 20% of stitchers are newcomers to knitting and crocheting since the COVID lockdown began in 2020." Since many of these individuals are beginners to crafting, this tangle-free solution will help to keep projects from making a mess, whether they are made at home or on the go. Brands like Red Heart, Bernat and Caron are now all embracing yarns in the O'GO format.
