Here is just a little peak at my next pattern and I haven't got much more than this stitched. I don't know if I'm the only one with this problem, but hand dyed threads present me with unique challenges. They are beautiful and I love stitching with them. I had a skein (well some of a skein) of WDW Gold Leaf left over from another project. Now I must have bought that skein a year ago if not longer. I was using it in this design, ran out of it and needed to buy another skein. The new skein had so much more brown in it than yellow it looked like a completely different color. It was still a lovely color but it looked so different than the one I was already stitching with I had to take out all the old stitches and redo them with the new thread. This was the only part of the design I've had time to restitch. I
despise taking out stitches but I suppose lesson learned. Always check my threads and when necessary stitch with a new skein, preferably before I start any stitching at all.

Love the colors of this.
Can't wait to see it completed :)
I love the colors in this, especially the blue tones. I've had that experience, too, with variagated threads and learned to do exactly what you did.
Oh no, definitely lesson learned! I really despise taking out stitches too. So far your new design is beautiful with beautiful colors.
Have a warm and cozy week~
