It is 22 degrees outside and he is out in the openDo they need a light? Thanks!
Must I blanket my horse? the short answer is noThe horse generates his own blanket-a haircoat that is long enough and thick enough to withstand the coldest days of winterIt's an adjustable covering that flattens against or elevates above the skin as the horse grows warmer or cooler.but special circumstances make maybe or definitely the correct responses for certain classes of horsesBlanketing is necessary for competition horses and foxhunters who are routinely clipped during colder weather to maintain a sleek appearance, reduce sweating, shorten cooling-out time and speed drying after rigorous workoutsAged horses whose appetites and digestion may not supply enough fuel to keep flesh on their bones and their internal furnaces stoked require shelter or blanketing during bad weather Relocated horses transported from a warm locale to a much colder climate often need additional covering for their first colder winterHorses relocated before the autumn equinox have time to grow a woollier coat to match the colder weather, but even then they may not be sufficiently insulted for the new climate Still air, frigid temperatures and snowfall are not particularly chilling to horses already adapted to colder regionsSnow accumulates atop their long winter coats without penetrating to the skin or drawing away body heatIn fact, that layer of snow serves as a sort of insulated blanket over the haircoatIn extreme or severe weather conditions, shelter-stabling, sheds, windbreaks or other forms of natural cover-are better protection from the elements than a single garmentIf you blanket your horse to protect him against wind and cold rain, use a waterproof garment to keep the rain from soaking the fabric and penetrating the haircoat.
Some yarns will fluff up afterwards but if you are noticing a big difference it probably won'tContact the yarn company with the dye lot numbersThey should be able to help you or replace the yarn.
I hope this will helpGet a small toothbrush like wire brush to fluff it up I would suggest a tooth brush but the bristles are not strong enoughMake a small patch with the new yarn and see if it worksIf it does continue with your project and then fluff it up.
I don't think it is possible to fluff up a skein of yarnMaybe this one doesn't have the same amount of pliesWhy not return it and get a contrasting color as a substitute since you have difficulty getting the same dye lot.
Another way would be to use the first yarn for one row, and the second yarn for the next row, and keep alternating yarns, and see how that looksThey will still be slightly different, but alternating will make the whole piece have the same texture.
