Wheeee! What a year this has been, for so many of us!
We’re ending the year with some beautiful yarns that will combine wonderfully with some of the previously posted solid and nearly-solid Blog Reader Specials. Today’s preview pricing deal includes all previously posted BRS yarns.
Wednesday will be another postal holiday, so I will aim to have this week’s collection ready to ship by Thursday. Supposedly tomorrow (Monday) my west-facing living room interior wall is supposed to be replaced (ongoing water damage from rains), and while I hope it is a one-day job I don’t expect miracles. All my yarn-working equipment and other furniture is on or near that same west-facing wall, so my living room will be a cramped jumble until it is all put back together. I will do my best to move the yarns out as quickly as possible.
Onward to this week’s collection!
These are all Phydlbitz Sock (75/25 Superwash Corriedale/Nylon, 430 yards each), all dyed as Twinsets. I dye Twinsets side-by-side so they are “twins” (sometimes identical but more often fraternal twins), but when I show them drying on the racks (as shown here), I rotate one, and then twist the bottom ends so display as much of the coloring in each Twinset. This allows you to see the color distribution on each one.
All of this week’s yarns were dyed with at least two colors, but most have three and a couple have four colors applied. Some of the colors were applied individually onto the yarns, while others were created by blending dyes on the yarn.
One Twinset in particular (#984-985) is a blending of brown, spruce, and blended green, but one of the blues that I used to blend green didn’t dissolve fully until the yarns went into the steamer so there are amazing tiny little blue flecks all throughout the yarn.
I didn’t use any straight purple dye this week; the apparent purple on Twinset #978-979 is from process of blending dyes onto the yarn salmon, blues, and red, with a light ‘smoosh’ to mix the colors into the yarn.
Normally, Phydlbitz Sock is $27.50, but for Sunday and Monday, all Phydlbitz Sock can be claimed for $25.00 each, including any previously posted Blog Reader Specials.
To claim the ones you want, just send me an email (ray@knitivity.com) with your numbered selections. I will mark your requests from the Available Yarns tally chart below, and then send a PayPal invoice. It’s okay if you don’t have a PayPal account — they handle all credit/debit card payments for me as well and will collect your shipping address so your purchase is protected.
