But…… Have any of you experienced a problem with handpainted yarns? I know they are lovely and come in beautiful yarns and colors, but I get annoyed. You spend a LOT more money for them because of the hands-on nature of the dying, but they have issues. In the case of my Ponchette, the colors are a bit different from skein 1 to skein 2. Okay. But the colors are also pooling differently, which you can see in the photo. Â
For this project, it’s not a big enough deal for me to worry much about it, but I do know of people who have given up on a whole project because the skeins were so screwy. Koigu is known for having such a difference between skeins that they do not even look like the same color, much less the same dye lot. In fact, “dye lot” is a meaningless concept with hand dyed yarns. I keep telling myself never again. But here I am!
