I have never had 2 skeins the same, even when they came out of the same bag, and even had one "pair" of socks in which one foot wore red and the other pink. Exhausted dye bath would be my guess.<BR/><BR/>Send it back! And only buy hand dyes in person - they're sneaky as he double toothpicks.

Although I actually think it's kinda nice yarn. I like yellow and it can look great on the freckled and red haired if you got the right shade. I had similar buying habits in the past and I'd like to have a swap but no one I know would want to swap for it. I can picture a whole table of weird bulky unwanted yarn (from me & my SnB pals) and no would want to take anything!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-64701501783818505412007-08-01T06:52:00.000-07:002007-08-01T06:52:00.000-07:00That ain't right.

In reality it's blue and peach, and I really dislike peach. Figured I'd just suck it up and give it away on freecycle.
