#854 &#8211; 877) for $25.50 each.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Edit: This discount is extended through Monday.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>To claim the ones you want, just <a href=\"mailto:ray@knitivity.com\"><strong>send me an email<\/strong><\/a> with your requests.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll mark your selections from the Available Yarns tally chart below and send you a PayPal invoice.\u00a0 On payment, I will print your shipping label so it is ready when the yarns are ready to ship, and you will get an email notice with your postal tracking number.\u00a0 When the mail carrier picks up packages, I nearly always announce it on Facebook so customers can start tracking their packages.<\/p>\n<p>A friend on Facebook was asking about yarns to the U.K.\u00a0 \u00a0I do ship internationally, although the rates have gone up (again!) so an international package costs $37.50 to ship.\u00a0 BUT, it&#8217;s basically a flat-rate up to a certain limit, and will cover for one skein or up to six in a single soft package.\u00a0 If you have friends who want to try my yarns, it is better to make a package to a single address.<\/p>\n<p>I expect this week&#8217;s collection to be ready to ship on Wednesday or Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Available Yarns:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Rack 1 &#8211;
