The Dye Lot Issue: How We Can Help

You’ve probably had the experience of desperately looking through the bins for the color of yarn you need to make sure there are enough of one dye lot to make your pattern.  It’s almost always an important consideration for bigger projects.  No one wants to put all that work into a sweater or afghan, only to look at it in the light of day and see unwanted color shifts.  It’s difficult to find more than a few balls of the same color in stores, and nearly impossible to find many of the same dye lot.

Unfortunately, we are not able to guarantee dye lot matches. Yarn is packed in cartons by dye lot and shipped to stores across the country – before long, that dye lot will be sold out. For this reason, we write a statement on every yarn label that you should purchase whatever you need of a dye lot at one time. Getting yarns from the same batch are likely when many skeins are purchased at the same time. And, you don’t have to worry about being short a ball because you can order extra and return unused balls to us.

It’s a little thing that makes your projects a big success.
