Happy Saturday!
First up — for all but a few states in the U.S., tonight we turn the clocks forward one hour, to begin Daylight Saving Time again. For me this means I will have better opportunity for outside yarn pictures before the sun gets high enough to interfere.
Back in the Spring of 1984 when the clocks changed, I was quite oblivious in the moment. I got up, got dressed and drove to church in plenty of time for the 11:00 service. The parking area was full but I found a spot and managed to walk in the door just in time for the 12:00 closing Amen and dismissal. OOPS! Thankfully I was not the pastor at that particular church. 🙂
Do you have a funny/awkward story about the time change?
Anyway, I pulled out what seemed to be an unusual combination of dyes to mix for last night’s dye session, but I ended the session thinking I did fairly well.
A few I want to point out first — Twinset #201-202 is a deep rich Charcoal; #205-206 is a nearly solid Tangerine; #211-212 is a saturated Military Green with an overwash of Milling Blue.
Twinset #197-198 is a light wash of the Tangerine with all-over random speckles of black. I could be mistaken, but I think a Triplet of the charcoal, tangerine, and the coordinating speckles would make a smashing shawl or scarf.
Last week I introduced a new-to-me technique of speckling 4 colors across 4 sections of the hank so that each quarter has 2 colors speckled together. Both of those skeins were snatched up almost immediately, so I tried the same technique this week with four different colors to create Twinset #213-214.
As always, if you need a better view of a particular Twinset today or tomorrow, please let me know so I can isolate just that pair if no one else has already claimed it.
These are all Phydlbitz Sock 2.0 — 75/25 Superwash 25-micron Merino/Nylon, 460 yards. These are normally $28.00 each, but for Saturday and Sunday, you may claim any two or more from this week’s collection (#195 – 218) for just $26.00 each skein. They will all be reskeined for shipping, of course, but I like to offer this Preview Pricing discount because I don’t have to photograph the reskeined yarns or edit and post those image on the Blog Reader Specials page. Claiming yarns from the rack saves me a little work, so I’m happy to save you a little money. Win-win!
To claim the ones you want just send me an email with your selections. I will mark your selections off the Available Yarns chart below and send a PayPal invoice. On payment of your invoice, I will prepare your shipping label so that when the yarns are dried and processed I can ship them.
I expect to have these ready to ship on or about Wednesday.
Available Yarns:
Rack 1 – 195, 196, 197, 198, 199, 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206
