Can I steam my bracelet (gently) to get it more relaxed (and less wonky, somehow my end is a bit askew/curved)? Or will it potentially damage it/make the knots too loose/...I'm using 100% cotton thread (combed, gassed, mercerised) |

I would try it out. For me the best thing was either to wash it by hand in lukewarm water or trow it in the wash in a mesh bag that helps better for me. Steaming was always hard to get a consistent result for me since it is a small piece

It seems worth trying, I've heard of people steaming knit projects made from cotton yarn so I dont think it will cause any damage. If you're struggling with wonky bracelets tho you can also try loosening your knot tension, and making sure to use strings of all the same brand/thickness (especially for alphas!)
