Each skein is hand-dyed and may vary from skein to skein and colors may very on monitors. When using multiple skeins in one project it is recommended to introduce the new yarn several rows (rounds) before the end. Then knit and/or crochet every other row (round) with the two skeins. This is also a great way to knit with hand-dyed yarns if you have any pooling.
