Happy Sunday!
Per the 10-Day forecast, just a few more days into the lower 90s and then we’ll start seeing more autumn-like weather. Even now as I type this paragrapyh at 10:00a.m. it’s just barely 80º, for which I am quite thankful. 🙂
Last week I dyed a lot of darker colors, so this week I deliberately pulled out some fluorescent yellow, a chartreuse, and fuchsia, along with some other colors. These colors appear across several Twinsets this week.
Many of the colors/combinations seem obvious. One Twinset (#789-790) looked better wet — when I sealed it into a pouch, it reminded me of watermelon rinds cut into random chunks; it is actually a combination of spruce and chartreuse. Perhaps I just need to remember to eat so that all my yarns don’t remind me of edibles. 🙂
At the end of the day’s dyeing I created a genuine DumpDye (#791-792) — using all the remaining red, fuchsia, brown, and gray into a combined vat that reminds me of dark red wine. Very rich, very beautiful.
Twinset #771-772 is a two-color fade featuring fluorescent yellow and gold ochre. Twinset #775-776 is a splattered combination of sky blue and pale gray, while #783-784 is a base of palest seafoam with a gradient fade of medium charcoal gray; #779-780 is a slightly deeper semi-solid in a similar seafoam green.
Any of these will make wonderful socks, of course, but there are so many other projects that you can use Phydlbitz Sock for — shawls, scarves, baby blankets, etc. Because I use a limited palette each week, many non-matching skeins can be combined for some amazing contrasts.
Phydlbitz Sock is $27.50 per skein. For Sunday and Monday, you can claim any two or more skeins (matching or not) for $25.50 off at Preview Pricing.
To claim the ones you want, just send me an email with your numbered requests. I’ll mark them off the Available Yarns tally chart below and send out a PayPal invoice.
I expect to have this week’s Blog Reader Special Collection processed and ready to ship on or about Thursday.
