yarn disappointment #3
This is the biggest disappointment.
"Night Elves"
Left is what I got. Right is what the website showed.
In their defense, maybe, this yarn was impossible for ME to photograph accurately. I had to do it without flash, and then photoshop the hell out of it to get the colors remotely close to the skein sitting next to me right now.
Honestly? It looks like a Wollmeise Poison No. 5 ripoff. It's magenta and black/very dark purple (sunlight will help me tell the difference). It's nowhere near the blue and black that the picture shows.
I've contacted the dyer, but I got an auto-response saying she's on vacation since 9/28 and no return date was provided. I'm not holding my breath.
Update 10/25/08: I finally heard from the dyer - she thinks they sent the wrong skein, and is refunding it. It's not worth me shipping back and them sending a new one.
