A long time ago, I noticed that some of the Kona Cottons definitely had "dye lot variations" for some of the colors.
(Color A might vary from lot to lot)
Is this still the case?
or
Can I expect Color A to match Color A from various dye lots now?

No...you can not...they do have dye lot changes..AND the Kona is different at Hancocks, Joanns, and quilt shops...be sure you know what you are buying..take a sample of what you have with you and get in direct light to compare it...

I still get dye lot variations and always expect them with any line of solids. Kona is no exception, sorry. Color also varies (or at least appears to) by direction of grain, so watch that if you are trying to match two different lots.
