Oh Bernice, How upsetting.
>From what I have learned even yarn of the same brand and type but different
colors can even have a different gauge. Some yarns take much more dye to
color one color over another and this can effect the thickness of the strand
of yarn.

I have 16 squares done for my blanket. I used yarns from my stash. My tip
is, if you are using yarns from a variety of sources including different
companies, it is extra important to check your gage. Even all yarns said
they were 4 ply number 4 yarns, they worked up differently. I have 2 squares
that are too big, and 3 squares that are too small. The too small ones are
pretty easy to cure. I added an extra row at the end, and took out my cast
on row and added a row there also. I will pick up stitches on both sides and
add 2 rows to each side. I can't figure out anything for the 2 that are too
big except taking them out and redoing them. GURRRRR!
