3. Check the labels for the dye lot number and buy enough of the same dye lot to complete the article.

5. Check the label for washing instructions, and be sure you are prepared to do what it takes to care for the finished piece.
6. Choose the right needles for the project. Check the instructions, and ask someone if you are not sure.
