Artisan hand-dyed yarns have natural color variations from skein to skein. Our team will do their best to choose the best matching skeins for your order. Here are some tips to get the best results when knitting with hand-dyed yarns:
Purchase enough yarn for your entire project
Alternate skeins by knitting two rows from one skein, then two rows from another skein. This will help to blend color differences.
