A Crocheter’s Worst Nightmare…

I’m thinking that I was right and originally I did use bubblegum pink, but bernat blanket changed up their yarn colors, or the dye lots are just different! So what do I do next?

[@krisphyra2746]

I say take apart the first arm, and use the correct color towards his body for both arms, then have an ombre affect going down towards the hands with the other pinks. I think that would look super cute, and almost intentional as well.

No, it is definitely too light. And the first one is way too dark. Bernat Blanket loves to change the amount of dye pigment they put into their dye lots. It happens to a lot of fibre artists, and I can only imagine how annoying it is.

[@SomeoneBeginingWithI]

Make both of his arms in a different colour from the body, so the arms match each other. I think the lighter pink is closer to the body colour and will look good when the project is finished.

[@Teri0is0Resa]

My thoughts exactly! Why have one stand out and look wrong when you can have two of the same and make it look like a choice?

[@mindfullycrocheted]

Agree.

[@delindaprice7664]

Yeah make them both white

[@happ-hobby]

Exactly what I was thinking, except I like the darker color for the arms, though the lighter color doesn't make as loud of a statement about the arms as the lighter color.

[@epicnamepwns1242]

That's what I would do. It might be a "mistake" but if you make both arms with the same yarn nobody will guess that it wasn't an intentional design decision.

[@_Purple-Bloom_]

I think the lighter shade will work best since it matches the original color better

No, because it will look like you tried to match it then failed. If you pick the darker one, it looks more intentional. I would pick the darker one and make the choice more of a statement if you know what i mean

[@katheldunne9358]

I support this. I had to learn it the hard way when I was in the middle of crocheting a blanket and went back to buy more yarn just to be told they ran out or yarn because they were discontinuing it. Apparently I bought from their last batch :( . So buy more than you think you’ll need if you can afford it.

[@Violexie-wb7op]

I cant afford it. I'm too ADD to ever follow through with returning the yarn.

[@sNuGgLeBuNny413]

As a JoAnn store employee, I can tell you that stores never carry the same dye lots. Always check the dye lot before buying and look for multiple skeins of the same dye lot. Also, side tip buy extra. It's always better to have too many skeins of the same dye lot then run out and not have the right dye lot. (If you order online, they will not send you the same dye lot either. Don't ask me why.)

[@darquequeen]

I just had that happen when I bought yarn online. So aggravating!

[@bella7904]

lol I used to work at Joann too.. it’s probably cause we’re packaging the yarn at the store and not paying attention to the lots, just making sure its the correct product and shipping it out asap

[@maysmoo9749]

This has been happening very frequently with not just yarn colors but a lot of other types of items, for example colored candles. I work in retail and some of the dyed things we get were drastically different colors than the old stuff we used to get and I believe it’s supply issues

[@LizaBMarie]

Its even happening in herbal stores, like supplements with dyes, some of them coming out really messed up looking. How weird

[@aspoonfullofkiwi]

Quality control issues. I've seen it happen at my store too.

[@roonilwazlib5402]

I’ve seen this happening with stitching/embroidery thread as well. I wanted to stitch mermaids on a baby towel for my niece and remembered that I saw a metallic green yarn at my local art and crafting shop which would be perfect for the fish tail part. (Sorry, English is not my native language 😅) I ordered it online because it was cheaper. When it arrived it wasn’t a nearly teal green, it was more like grass green and also had copper strands in it?! I thought I got a different one, but when I was at the local store the nearly teal one had the exact same item number. If they don’t change the appearance of their products from time to time, the problem is probably that they can’t get all the stuff they need for production anymore, or they got too pricey and they do tiny adjustments because of this which sometimes totally change the color. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@earth.champion]

​@@roonilwazlib5402 my grandma told me this has been a common thing for decades. Basically anything dyed in batches will never be an exact match. Sometimes the difference will be subtle, sometimes it will be so noticeable you'll think you bought the wrong supplies. 😢

[@Annie_Annie__]

Just the other day I went to buy my usual hair serum and several of the bottles were green. The bottle is usually a very subtle green, almost like a translucent olive gray green, if that makes sense? But some of the bottles were _green_ . Like Nickelodeon slime green. I had to double check that just the bottle was green and not the serum itself. Also that the labels and everything else was the same. It was. It wasn’t a big deal, far from having dye lot issues, but it was just so odd.

[@rebeccaglasser472]

That’s why I always save the paper from around the roll until I’m done with a project so that I’m able to find the exact thing I’m looking for if I run out.

[@rachel0982]

Yep! Always keep the paper sleeve in the project bag. And if you ball winder a skein or hank it's super easy to fold up the paper and put it in the middle of the ball as you take it off the winder. It still might be impossible to find the right dye lot, but at least you'll know what you're looking for.

[@lstockley7902]

It’s also helpful because you should check the Lot Number along with the product color. Especially for fiber, different lots can be the same dye process but turn out like the examples in the video.

[@moose8846]

This doesn't help when it comes to dye lots, and by the time you run out, the rest of the yarn from that dye lot will have sold

[@lapatti]

I buy my yarn from a market stall because it's cheaper there but you can never find the same brand, let alone colour

[@blueismylove3128]

I literally have a whole drawer full of yarn labels. You'll never catch me slipping again.

[@Toca.Lily.johnathan]

I suggest you can like make it a strawberry one like with dark pink spots i think it will be like really cute and for the arm i suggest that you do dark pink spots with the light pink because the dark pink will catch peoples eyes so they wont notice its not the same color hope this helps! 😊

[@Quiet_Kid.edu.gov.com.gun.47]

[@caraminez]

@@llamaworld835 that's why I said to keep the label. It has a number on it that says which specific batch the yarn came from, called the dye lot.

I got an idea - since you already got one arm done, you got some yarn with the correct pink shade. Therefore, if you don't mind the hassle, you can unravel the arm then make two 'upper arms' with the correct pink shade. Use the white yarn (same color as the belly) to make the 'lower arms'. The lower part would look like gloves.

Tip from a person that crochets: Every time you use new yarn cut a little bit of it and tie it to something that fits on your wrist and use it as a bracelet when you run out you can go to the store and match it faster hope this helps :)

[@labonihira]

This is definitely a big issue because the dye lots can turn out drastically different sometimes and its really frustrating

[@zghst]

You could do both, make the outside bit of the arm lighter and the inside of the arm (towards the body) make it darker

[@BabyEmporerPenguinsAreAamazing]

You could a also make him no arms (not in a rude way) HE LOOKS SO CUTE BTW

[@inmyopinion9844]

Both arms, lighter pink. You’ll love it

[@Sass_cass]

I say you just keep him like a little blob. Make him into a little Snorlax snowman when the holidays come around by making a little top hat or scarf, and he’ll be the Snorlax snowman.

Always save the wrapper that comes with the yarn to be able to match the dye lot. Also, always get at least one extra skein than the pattern calls for. I usually get 2 extra. Of course if you are making your own pattern it's a little trickier. Your Snorlax is amazing.

[@emery9351]

You should make one a light pink and one the other bright pink!

[@Mtzmtz123]

😢😢😢 btw do the light pink

He is either a bot or just sarcastic

[@BuggieTheBugster]

Lighter! It’s a less extreme difference and I think it’ll look cute especially if you do both arms in the new yarn

[@ErikaLaGrande]

Use the white and black together to make the arms…it will work with the rest of the project.

[@thisisnotmyhandle01]

disabled plushi!! love it 😁 i had a friend growing up with only one arm and tbh they where literally the colest of the group!

[@bekenotsalony2905]

suggestion... undo part of his base and transition to the darker color, then use the reclaimed bit to do the upper part of the arms and transition them to darker so it has a two tone effect.

[@misterbluebanana8191]

Just top comment but way more simpler

[@bwlladw]

when you undo the arm the yarn will be very messed up

[@bekenotsalony2905]

@@bwlladwit can be. My mom used to take the time to wind it back up into a ball so it'd be pulled back into a more normal shape before reusing things.

[@bwlladw]

@@bekenotsalony2905 the yarn the girl is using isnt a very strong yarn, if you pull it to much it will break.

as a fursuit maker, we also have this with fur. every batch is slightly different. and considering fursuits cost a LOT we often reach out to other makers to get the fur we need from a certain batch number to make sure the customer gets the correct colors and not slightly different colors.

[@preshisloved]

That’s actually genuinely interesting lol

[@user-qg4mn3lc2b]

When i have needed help, the employees have been very helpful and will search the bins for dye lot numbers. I've had to call various stores within driving range of me to find a certain dye lot, and it worked. I only had to actually drive to one store because of their help.

[@omallie360]

Maybe there's a dye lightener that you could duo the darker one into cuz it looks like it would possibly work if just a shade or two lighter
