If you ever start working with yarn, one of the things you need to remember about it is that it's all different. Yarn may be from the same dye lot, even the same weight, but completely different in texture. This is true even if you purchase it at the same time. Actually, it may be different for expensive yarn, but I never really get that.
Other things can affect it as well. If you store your yarn in a dusty area, the dust will alter the texture of the yarn. To be honest, I really like the way dusty yarn feels, probably because that's what I'm most used to.
If you find yourself working on a project where you're using a lot of various bits and pieces of yarn, accept that it's all going to work differently. You may need to alter your gauge depending on how the yarn behaves with everything else, otherwise, it may throw the project off.
Don't worry about this. Just keep it in mind as you work and accept it as part of the unpredictable aspect to your project and adjust as much as you can.
