Hand-dyed yarns have natural color variations from skein to skein. To get the best results we suggest that you:
- Before you start knitting, purchase enough yarn for your entire project.
- To blend color differences, try alternate skeins by knitting a few rows from one skein, then a few rows from another skein.
