Silly question about yarn dye and gauge
Hello lovely knitters,
This may be a dumb question but, but what the heck, let’s just go for it.
Would two gauge swatches in the same yarn but different colors have different gauges? Does something about dying a purple vs a pink, for example, cause a difference in gauge swatches?
I’m swatching in 50/50 bamboo cotton and I want to swatch using a color I’m not using in this project. I know I can reclaim the yarn from the swatches, but I want to avoid the extra loose ends I’ll have to weave in if I do that.
Thanks for the loan of your brain cells. They are surely less fried than mine. 🤪
