Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag. Skeins may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.
When Malabrigo dyes its yarns, the same formula is used each time but every batch of yarn is assigned a different dye lot number. The differences from one dye lot to another can be very subtle, or extremely noticeable, specially on variegated yarns.
When Malabrigo assigns a dye lot number the main use is to identify which skeins can be labeled and packed together. After Malabrio's quality control team checks the skeins, they go to the labeling section and then are put in bags of five or ten (depending on the yarn).
Any order greater than 5 skeins will be mixed dye lots. Some colorways do not have dye lots. We will do their best to choose the best matching skeins for your order.
Please contact us with any questions or concerns about working with hand-dyed yarns.
The colors shown on photos are illustrated as reference, as mentioned above, they can differ on more or less of one tone, due to the hand-dyed process.
