CAN I GET MORE We would love you to get more. Here is what to consider, dye lots change much faster with indie-dyers and small batch producers. So, our advice is to match yardage of what you have with your pattern before you start knitting. We may have it, but we can't guarantee it.
SOLID VS SEMI-SOLID Color intensity is usually what varies in semi-solid versus a solid. It relates to the handmade versus machine done application of color. However, each artist has different techniques that create individual looks - including looking very purposefully solid or not solid.
COLOR REPEATS The answer is swatch it! Like many indie-artists, we are always being creative, trying new things, experimenting with color. We bring consistency to our customers in our quality and care, but our color work is what brings your back. That may mean a color might repeat in a few inches on one, a foot on another and a few yards on a third. And, everyone's' stitch tension, needle size, pattern or project could be different. So, it is impossible to tell a head of time, will something pool, or stripe, or be random -depending your desire and interest.
ARE ANY TWO THE SAME In a sense the answer is sometimes yes and sometimes no. This is because, we can do a lot to make two skeins exactly alike, they get the name "same dye lot" if they were in the pot together. However, an artists' dye pot is a pretty magical, magnificent, and mysterious place. And, sometimes "exactness" is in the eye of the beholder - even with the big manufacturers.
Indie artists have a cool thing over the big manufacturers; it is that no matter how much they try to reach into our territory with more choices, they still have to produce massive quantities at a time. We inidie artists, have immense, in fact infinite, number of possible color-ways, yarns, and presentations. It is at the core of what makes it so special to buy and work with indie-dyed hand done yarns.
