Reloading yarn

I bought 2 skeins of Berroco Flicker in the color "albrecht." Together that is 378 yards. I decided to use them for a pattern that calls for 350-370 yards. I knew that I was cutting it close, but forged ahead.

I ran out of yarn only 2/3rds of the way through the pattern. WHAT

I went online to purchase more and found that this yarn has been discontinued. Frantically searched and found a website that had 3 skeins in stock. Bought all of them.

There was one more potential problem - the new skeins might not match the old ones exactly, since they would probably be from a different dye lot. Luck was on my side: the dye lot was exactly the same on the 3 new ones as on the 2 I'd already used. Win!
