Dyelot Conundrums

I’ve been taking six balls of Paton’s Merino Wool DK around the house into different lights for the past half hour.

The wool is left over from a couple if previous projects and I’m fairly sure that there are two different dye lots. I’m trying to ascertain how many balls I have of each before deciding how to use them in a new cardigan.

Do I need to use two alternating strands all the way through or not? Are there enough balls of each to even do that?

Such decisions befall the knitter.
