So when I bought this I was a total noob and I had NO idea how much to buy for a sweater. So I bought this yarn at two different stores and thus had two dyelots. I swear they looked identical. However as we can see from the above I was so wrong. Now both the balls used in that piece so far were wound. So thus todays labor= wasted. Go on cry with me. I wonder if this is the knitting goddesses way of telling me I should make the black cardi from the new Magknits. I have a black dk weight merino….Or I could just use another worsted weight yarn. Or I could figure out the dye lot issue. Or I could just put it off for a later time and finish thermal. Yeah as of right now I’m leaning towards that. Then again this whole sweater/blog every day for a month thing had such nice nice synergy. Ok so it gets better if by better you mean worse. I checked my stash and it has to be the same dyelot its just that variable. So I’m just going to go with it. Black will dye over anything if its horrible.
Ouch! I read somewhere that you can work out the dyelot issue by knitting from two balls of yarn, like, one row from one ball, one row from another, and they blend into each other.
