What is the difference between Sling Blue and Sling Orange and Blue?
(and the Orange? )
It looks to me that the main difference between this products is that Sling Blue has one single channel with both blue and orange. Is it right? (I read here that the Sling Blue doesn't have two channels, but only one with all three colors at once.)

I don't see a big difference between the two. In the "Sling" part of the packaging, you can find that they use different color codes. All three colors are mixed into one. This is to differentiate it from the "Plastic" part, which isn't tinted. (If you were going to use only plastic for your sling, then you would need both parts).
You can also mix up the contents a little. The Blue contains "Buckwheat ProSooty Powder" and the Orange "Buckwheat Fiber."
This isn't a direct answer to your question. However, I think there is a great explanation on an earlier answer to your question, so we did some further digging: The color difference is in the "Plastic" parts of the Sling-Blue & Orange. Both bags contain Buckwheat ProSooty Powder & Buckwheat Fiber, just in different ratios.
But the difference is the Buckwheat powder (ProSooty) which provides color to the 'Plastic' part in Orange Sling-Blue. The Sling orange is made from the Buckwheat Fiber.
This is the answer I was looking for since you said (your words): that the main difference is that Sling Blue has one single channel with both blue and orange. Thanks. (I hope my language is correct since I never used English in my life before typing on this site).
AlexisJul 23 '12 at 19:01. @Alexis: No problem, I actually wanted to say that you were correct. It's more or less that there are 3 colors, and each color has it's own color code (Blue=Blue, Orange=Orange and White=White) RamiroJul 24 '12 at 0:31. There is one very important thing to consider when mixing colors. You'll most likely have an off-color at the ends of your yarn.
