Review on Bernat 16103636004 Blanket Ombre Eggplant by Tara Ford

Tried to make a nice afghan for my gd. I loved the feel of the Berat yarn and she chose an ombre skein color that would go well with her colors in college. However, I'm on my 3rd skein and have at least 4 left. I was very, very disappointed with this "ombre". This is not a true disappearance in a strand. So far, each strand has had at least 4 knots, where the color gradually "merges". If I could I would go for a solid color in this dark cranberry burgundy but I ended up with the first strand, I either wasted my time and choice or threw it away! I won't be using this again if I can get around it. I decided to cut the knot and use the color to fully connect the new row rather than changing color so suddenly (with an obvious knot). Do not recommend this if you want a real ombre. I would prefer "spotted" or "striped" so I know what I should get as a result. Of course, if it's the same brand, I'll probably trip over all the knots, right?
