I was planning on all the patterns being the same spacing and I have a pound of 40/2 linen that I really hope I like for lace so the dyelot should be covered. Thanks for the reminders, these are things that would make or break this project.
I'm amazed at the difference in dyelots for the weaving yarns I buy. Some times the color is so far off I'm afraid claim it is the same color I have listed on my website for the towels I weave. I've never noticed a difference in the whites yet.
