Variations in Dye Lots and Within Dye Lots

Due to the natural variations inherent in wool fiber, dyeing processes can result in slight differences in color between dye lots as well as within individual dye lots. These variations are caused by factors such as:

• Natural Fiber Characteristics: Wool fibers can vary in size, shape, and porosity, which can affect how they absorb and retain dye.
• Dyeing Process: The dyeing process itself can introduce slight inconsistencies, even under carefully controlled conditions.
• Environmental Factors: Temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors can influence the dyeing process.

Recommendations for Larger Products

To minimize the appearance of color variations in larger products, we recommend alternating skeins from different dye lots or within the same dye lot. This will help to distribute any color differences more evenly throughout the finished piece.
