There's a big white splotch where the yarn was tied.

That SUCKS. Maybe it'll just knit up into little flecks and you won't really notice? Here's hoping, anyway.

Not cool. Not cool at ALL. But I do love the merino tencel. Here's seconding Ashley's it'll all turn out pretty in the end.

I had a similar problem in some Handmaiden yarn that I bought from Yarntopia. I emailed Handmaiden about it and they said that it was "normal" for handpainted/handdyed yarn. I still thought it was annoying.

Hello! Not normal. And for what you're paying for handmaiden yarns, I would expect better.

Holy White Splotches Batman, that's a lot of white! White definitely can happen, but in my opinion that's way too much. It's a catch 22 because the only way to really ensure there's no white is to wind the skeins off a cone and tie them loosely, but it's a huge timesaver to get prewound skeins from a mill, and often times they're tied too tight.

Anyway, that's a bummer, and while it does happen, that doesn't mean a company (looking at you Handmaiden, from the above comment) should just treat it as something that's completely unavoidable.
