A bit of preoccupation...
With getting these yarns exactly perfect. They are all gradient dyed, meaning that the skein starts out one color and transitions to another (and sometimes more than one) color. This is such a unique process that requires your full attention, but the results are so worth it, especially when you see them en masse. This happens to be a custom order for a fabulous client who plans to knit a sweater for a loved one.

Each skein is slightly different, but uses the same palette. She can alternate skeins as she sees fit, and also start from either the outside or the inside of the ball as she knits.

the mere fact that you continue to replicate the same colorway with such precision (or close to it) amazes me.
