Inconsistent
I have really enjoyed working with this yarn. Unfortunately, I'm really disappointed in the consistency of the skeins. I had two skeins in the same colorway and same dye lot. After I'd already knit one sock and prepared to start on the second, I realized that the second skein had a much darker shade of one of the colors and it was noticeable enough that I didn't want to make the second sock out of the second skein. Fortunately I had used a different, solid-colored yarn for a heel and toe accent so I felt I could squeeze two socks out of one skein. I started again and knit the first sock out of the second skein. Halfway through the second sock, I ran across a knot - which is fine, of course - but after the knot the wrong color was connected to the one that had run out. Now I don't know if I'll have enough yarn to finish the second sock. It feels like a huge waste of my time and effort, especially since I had intended to use these as a gift. I have two more skeins in a different colorway that I was going to start knitting next, but since they are also for a gift I don't know if I want to chance it. It's a shame because I love the jacquard patterns!
