Remember me talking about running out of yarn for the scarf I was knitting and Knit Picks calling me to confirm that I still wanted them to fill my order even though they no longer had the dye lot I'd requested? Well, that happened and I thought it was great customer service.
Well, the new yarn with a different dye lot arrived. I held the new yarn up to the old and couldn't see a difference. I decided to risk it and started knitting with the new. After all, it was a simple, narrow garter stitch scarf. The world wouldn't end if I had to rip out a few rows.
I knit a few rows and still couldn't see a difference in the yarns.
I knit a little more, still didn't see a difference so I asked my daughter to identify the fault line. If it was there, she'd see it!
She couldn't see a difference either so I kept on knitting.
Can you spot the row where the two different dye lots join? I sure can't.
I don't think, in my entire crafty life, I have ever had two dye lots match so well. Thank you Knit Picks! Thank you for having incredible dye consistency! I just love you guys!
I can't see it, either, and I would never have guessed there was more than one dye lot in there!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!! I don't see it at all.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! I've had good luck matching their dye lots too which is a good thing because I am always running out in the middle of a project.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf looks great and is done just in time. Brrrrr....it's gotten cold all of a sudden.
I cannot see a difference how exciting for you for an excellent match!!
ReplyDeleteI think you won the dye lot race.
ReplyDeleteKudos to Knit Picks.
No different to my eyes either. I order a LOT of yarn from Knit Picks. They are my favorite company. I just wish shipping was a bit faster. It usually takes 2-3 weeks from when I order for it to arrive. Maybe it will be faster when we live in the midwest instead of Washington State. Congrats on a beautiful scarf.

THAT IS A GREAT KNIT PICKS STORY!
ReplyDeleteHooray for matching dye lots and a wonderful scarf. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI had the same experience with the Hue Shift Afghan. I ran short on one color from the kit so i had to order. Can't tell at all!
