dye lots in the light of day
Of course the new skein didn't magically transform overnight to come from the same dye lot as the originals. But in the morning sunlight they look the same. They look the same, they look the same, they look the same, you know I'll be chanting this to myself all the way to work and then still call The Loopy Ewe the minute I get to my desk.
(Answer to a question nobody asked: If I were a lot of you, I'm sure it would occur to me to ask why I didn't knit a row or two with the new yarn and see if the difference is obvious, before making a decision. The answer is that once I've wound up the skein I can't return it for a refund, so if I'm not going to use it, I don't want to touch it, and if I begin using it, I'm committed to it -- or, I could still use something else, but I'd own this yarn for keeps, is my point.)
