While a perfect match is a wonderful result, it is not the guarantee. I strive to give as good a match as possible, but there will be differences in the end results.

 

For example, Targhee, Cestari, Marr Haven, and sometimes 1-ply Uruguay will give a more mottled, semi-solid appearance where BFL, 3 ply, and Gaia bulky will present a smoother finish.

 

There are "resulting" colors and "created" colors in Morwenna's colorways. "Created" colors are ones that have an actual recipe and can be replicated in a trim color. "Resulting" colors are ones that result from the dye process. In Morwenna's colorways, a different dye process might be used, yielding a different appearance in intensity and eveness. In my trim dyeing process, I utilize one system only, and there is no guarantee that I will be able to provide the same intensity as is represented in the varigated colorways.

 

There are also variations in the water that Morwenna uses in her process from the water that I use in my process. We live in two different areas of the country, and we have two different water treatments. I use a water softener to help remove the hard water deposits in my water, but it does not remove them all. Even subtle variations of the elements found in my water from the elements found in Morwenna's can yield different results.

 

We have two hands ... therefore we have two different products. I use Morwenna's recipes and I do not vary from them at all. If the trim color that I provide to you does not match any color in the colorway, it may be due to the fact that there is not as much of that color in the varigated colorway. Each skein that Morwenna creates varies from skein to skein, which is also the case for the trim skeins.
