Knitted till the hands had to stop

Ten skeins to a bag of hand dyed Malabrigo Rios in Hollyhock, 07 07 07 dye lot, one skein down, fourĀ inches. Granted, the non-seed stitch area will take the yardage further, but that’s still going to be well short of what I was shooting for. I was afraid of this and looked for extra skeins at the time but this was all there was of it.

My understanding is that each bag is its own unique dye lot. I’m going to need to go looking for a close match and then alternate rows of the two when I do.

No luck atĀ Fillory, either.

Still, it’s definitely a better problem to have.

How about a contrast–jewel blue–or winterwhite

It’s going to be stunning!!! If at all possible I would stick with your plan rather than introducing other colors.
