A relative of mine died recently, leaving a half-knitted jumper for my DD. I found someone to finish it for me but it looks like we don't have enough wool. (I'm SURE my relative bought enough but we can't find it anywhere.) I'm told that because it is a variegated yarn the dye lot should not matter so much, so I'm hoping we can get away with ordering more. I've found the wool online and the website offers two different dye lots, both different from the one I have. Should I get some of each and see which one looks closer or just pick one? Would the dye lot that is closer in number to the one I have be more likely to match? How terrible will it look with different dye lots?
Thank you very much for any information! I know nothing about this stuff.
