Dye Lots: The Sneaky Number That Can Make or Break Your Project

Join host Gea on this colorful episode of Skein and Tell as she zooms in on one of the most overlooked but oh-so-powerful details in yarn land: the dye lot number. That sneaky little code on your label? It might look harmless, but it’s the difference between a dreamy cardigan and an accidental patchwork cosplay.

You’ll discover:
🌸 Why your “Dusty Rose” sleeve might suddenly morph into “Dusty Raspberry Smoothie”🌈 What a dye lot actually is and why skeins are more like siblings than clones🔥 The chaotic cocktail of water temp, humidity, and sheep that makes colors shift between batches💡 Smart strategies to outsmart the dye lot gremlins (buying, blending, and creative fixes)✨ How to turn mismatched skeins into ombré fades, intentional design features, or full-on fiber fashion statements

This episode will have you squinting at yarn labels, laughing at your stash, and maybe even embracing the unpredictable beauty of dye lots. Because at the end of the day, bestie, every skein tells a story, and you’re the one weaving it into magic!
