Happy Saturday!

What a blistering summer it has been, and we’re not even half done with it.  I hope all y’all are finding ways to keep cool and avoiding the perils of overheating.  I normally do my exercise walks early in the morning, and it is still obnoxiously hot here in Houston.  I didn’t get to the dyeing until after 7:00 last night, which is unusual for me, but it was just too dang-blang hot to work yesterday.

There are far too many multi-color yarns still available on the Blog Reader Specials page, so I thought I’d try again for compatible and/or contrasting solids, aiming for mostly darks and as fully saturated as I could make them.  Some of these are not as fully and evenly colored as I’d like, but  I am mostly happy with how these turned out, and I’m confident when combined with a multi-color yarn, the solids will contrast just fine as they are.

Most of the colors are self-evident, and most were dyed with single mix dyes, rather than combined.    Twinset #568-569 is a dark charcoal gray; #572-573 is a sort of taupe; #590-591 is a mostly gray with hints of a greenish-gray undertone; #580-581 is a combination of all the remaining dyes at the end of the night.

These are all  Phydlbitz Sock (75/25 Superwash Corriedale/Nylon, 430 yards), normally $27.50 but for Saturday and Sunday, you may select any two more more (matching or not) for $25.50 each.  And for this weekend, if you take any two or more from this new collection (BRS24 – #568 – 591) you can also select any previously posted yarn on the Blog Reader Specials page for the same discounted price.

To claim the ones you want just send me an email with your numbered item requests.  I’ll mark them off the Available Yarns tally chart below and then send your PayPal invoice.

I expect to have these all processed and ready to ship on or about Wednesday.
