Happy Weekend!<\/p>\n

This rainy weather is throwing me off my routine.\u00a0 I pulled hanks on Thursday, dyed yarns on Friday, and discovered it was to be raining all day yesterday.\u00a0 Finally late in the afternoon there was a break and I was able to run the yarns outside, get pictures, and run them back into the fan room to finish drying.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I hope this finds you well and excited for the projects you will create with this week’s offerings.\u00a0 \u00a0There are all on Phydlbitz Sock, an excellent yarn for socks of course, but also terrific for garments and accessories as well as things like baby blankets and booties.<\/p>\n

There was a lot of leftover dye from last week, so I wanted to use up what I could; most of this week’s dyes are solid or nearly-solid with variations along the strand, but also a few sprinkled combinations.<\/p>\n

Most of this week’s colors are clear, as I try to get pictures in outdoor daylight, the way you’d see them at an open market, without filters.\u00a0 \u00a0If you want a closer look at a particular yarn or Twinset please let me know Sunday or Monday before I reskein these.\u00a0 \u00a0A few Twinsets seem worth pointing out:<\/p>\n

When Twinset #910-911 was wet, it looked like the most aubergine-like aubergine I’ve ever dyed, even better than blackened purple, but this Twinset started with a blue-modified red and then double-dipped in navy.\u00a0 When it was wet it looked fabulously even, but as it dried it is easy to see the red undertones beneath the navy.\u00a0 \u00a0Even so, I think this pair is begging to be knit into a dramatic open-work shawl to be worn over a smart ivory or cream outfit.\u00a0 Of course, your inspiration may be quite different.<\/p>\n

Twinset #920 – 921 is more coral than pink, as it was made with pale red and pale orange, while #924-925 could be an Impressionist’s pond scene watercolor.<\/p>\n

Twinset #906-907 was dyed a solid Olive — this is one of those dyes blending at the manufacturer that tends to break apart while dyeing.\u00a0 It comes out looking like the colors of the late autumn leaves on the forest floor, all wet and clumping — it’s an amazing color, in my opinion, and would look good paired with an outfit in either lighter or darker neutrals.<\/p>\n

All of these will be available on the Blog Reader Specials page<\/strong><\/a> at $27.50 apiece.\u00a0 \u00a0For Sunday and Monday, you can claim any matching Twinset of this new collection (#902-925) for just $50.00.<\/p>\n

To claim the ones you want, just send me an email<\/strong><\/a> with your numbered requests.\u00a0 \u00a0 I expect to have these ready to ship on or about Wednesday.<\/p>\n
