This is hand-dyed yarn, so each dye lot may be a little bit different in colour. When you are buying this yarn, be sure to get enough to complete your project. This is because the next purchase may be from a different dye lot and the colour may be slightly different. For colours with the asterisk (*), the skeins may even vary within the same bag. To ensure random colour distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.
