WIP: Yarns don't match!

You can see my WIP started below. I have gotten far enough along that I'm ready to tie on a new skein -- but they don't match! The label on the Caron pounder says "No dye lot" (in 3 languages!) but the new yarn doesn't have the same sheen as the current yarn. None of the Caron Soft Sage at Joann's matches, either!

What if the yarn I have already used is the mis-match! Hope this doesn't become another frogging project!

Update on 6/26/2006: Joann's had a new batch of Caron Soft Sage and today I found one that seems to match the original yarn. Thank goodness! I was ready to SIU (see acronyms at right) and frog it. Now I can get back and finish it!


Update on 7/4/2006: Nope! Not a match at all when I finally joined the two colors. Bought a third one which really seemed to match in the store but the light must be really bad at Joann's. So the project is back on hold.

Update on 9/20/2006: Wrote to Caron and explained the situation (folks on Crochet Partners recommended this) and they sent me three (count them -- 3!) skeins of matching Soft Sage yarn. Customer service is still alive and well in America! Haven't frogged the original afghan, yet, or started on a new one with the matching yarn but it won'd be long!
