Houston, we have a problem.

This is the problem.



We have two balls of yarn that are at the same point in the colour sequence.

This is the reason why:



Somebody, in their wisdom, has decided that it is perfectly acceptable to "splice" (after a fashion) one colour to another totally unrelated colour. Obviously this will not do.

I fished about amongst the other balls of yarn and found a place where the yellowish/greenish yarn came up.

I am going to splice these two yarns together:



First, unravel the plies for about six inches:



Then cut or break off one of the plies:



Wet your palms, with spit (or water, if you are particularly fastidious). Overlap the two yarns in your palm and rub your hands together vigorously. You will be twisting the yarns together as you do this. You need to rub quite hard, so that you create some heat. The combination of the wetness, the agitation and the heat will felt the two yarn ends together and should make an almost invisible join:



I really don't like the feel of the soggy (technical term) yarn passing through my fingers, so I usually do this and leave it to dry for ten minutes or so. There's really no need to do this but I just prefer it.

Eye candy:



This is what we have so far. It's looking lovely (though I so say so myself!)

Here's a close-up of the scrolls:



Nice, eh?
