I realilzed the other day that I'd done something stupid. When I bought sock yarn at the Jimmy Bean's in Truckee, I bought only 1 skein of each color, and you need two to make a pair of socks. (I'd just finished a pair made from one skein, but of course it had twice as much yardage.) Anyway, I figued it might be too late to get the same dye lot, but that I'd have the best chance if I ordered from the same company. So I placed my order with Jimmy Bean Thursday night.
I got the yarn yesterday, which just blows my mind. Granted they're only one state over, but it's a big state and they're at the other end of it, a 2-day drive away. So OK, not that long a flight, but that says a lot for how quickly they process orders. (Lord knows, I don't get things from Amazon, some of whose warehouses are nearly that close, that quickly even when I don't get Supersaver.) I do love people who save me from my own stupidity quickly and easily.
Ohh, and one skein was indeed the same dyelot. I seem to have mislaid the ballband of the other when I rolled it into a ball, but I can't tell any difference in the colors.
