Colour Matching
If you are planning to knit an item which requires more than one skein - like a sweater, it's highly recommended you alternate skeins.
Why? It helps prevent any noticeable colour changes between skeins.
Even when yarns are dyed in the same pot, skeins can take up the dye differently depending on its position in the dye pot, or how close a skein is to the heat source - even when the yarns are frequently and gently moved around.
