I’ve made some progress on my Mossy Kroy socks… but I noticed something curious…

It almost looks like I’m knitting with a completely different yarn. The first sock is much more tweedy and muted than the second. My guess is that I’ve got two different dye lots. Sadly, I threw out the label from the first ball, so I can’t check. I don’t even remember where I got them from – or how long they’ve been in my stash.
Happily, these are for me, and I can live with the differences – but I’m going to have to check the rest of the Kroy I have in the stash.
