Take care when you are knitting that if/when you start on a new self-striping skein, you plan where you are stopping and starting skeins so the stripes flow harmoniously. As with all of your Urth Yarns purchases, each skein will plant a tree with

A Note from the Designer: When switching colors in a self-striping yarn, I normally recommend joining at a point where both skeins are at the same point in the stripe. I do not recommend that with the colors used in the sample, because it meant there was a long portion when the MC and CC were very similar and it obscured the stripe.
