Yes. I bought double knitting Schachenmayr wool to knit socks. The colour sequence was the same in each ball/each sock down to the heal, but then each had a different sequence, so the socks don't match...neve had that before.

Review summary
Shoppers mostly praise how smoothly this wool knits and its stitch definition. Several use it as a substitute for discontinued yarn or to finish projects, and some use it for socks. Complaints are uncommon: one reviewer noticed mismatched colour sequences between socks, and another found the yardage poor for the price.

Great quality, good stitch definition and a pleasure to knit with
I needed some yarn to finish a project, and of course my original set of yarn was no longer in production. Google helped me identify a substitute, and I found it at Love Crafts. It worked just fine, and project is complete!
The pattern I used was for an Aran coat and was an old pattern. I ran out of wool (which I had bought some years ago and stored) and to complete the last sleeve and the bands around the front edge and the neck, I needed extra wool and I was very pleased to be able to purchase the wool in the same shade (natural) which was also 100% wool as the one I was using and needed the same size needles.. It is a lovely soft wool and would be ideal for children's garments as well as adult wear.
I use it for socks...brilliant, very popular in my family circle
Good alternative to discontinued wool
Yarn knits easily. Looks smooth Very disappointed in the amount of yardage for the money
Needed more yarn to complete a cable hat. Matched perfectly and received very quickly.
Warm yarn that knits so smoothly
Wool knits up well, lovely results.
