Chunky Wool
Posted on Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008 at 9:31 pmdoes the dye batch matter with wool?
I'm making an afghan blanket. using sirdar big softie super chunky wool ( http://www.knitandsew.co.uk/Sirdar_Big_Softie_Super_Chunky_50g_ball.htm )
ive worked it out and its ging to cost about £112.50 (i need 100 squares, gettin 2 squares per ball, each ball is £2.25)
would it be ok to buy only a few at a time? cause i really dont have the storage for 50 balls of wool.
any thoughts?
SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY
I have balls of the same wool from like 12 years ago and its the same colour knitted up. no visable variations. its just the plain cream colour one
its only 2500g. for a jumper i knitted i needed 1050g, same for the cardie i have my eye on.
it is just 50g balls 
It does matter if there are different dye lots stated on the label. I try to use yarn that states No Dye lot for this reason.
Try to buy more yarn than the pattern calls for , otherwise you will see a difference. Ask the store if you can return unused skeins.
If there doesn't appear to be a difference,use alternating colours. eg: lot 1, lot2, lot1, lot 2 etc.
