Fiber Arts Friday: Watchman Hat, part 3 - Even More Yarn

I received the extra yarn for Hubba's Improvised Watchman Hat.  Hooray!

Something isn't right though.

My existing orange is Mandarin.  The new orange is Carrot.  Both are Lot # 002.  grrr.

In going back to the transaction, the seller was clear that this yarn was Carrot, so the color difference is completely my fault.

However, I come from an industry where lot numbers are always unique... just like serial numbers.  So I am annoyed that the lot numbers are not unique with this brand.

Fortunately, there was one more option for more yarn... especially since I am now making this hat larger.

This is a much better color match.

Happy Fiber Arts Friday?
