Happy Monday!<\/p>\n

It’s been crazy time around the House of Knitivity, but I think I’m getting squared away.\u00a0 We had some more rains last week, and the newly repair wall revealed some other leaks in the same area.\u00a0 The worker came back and re-sealed other sections and expanded the work area, so that yesterday’s rains didn’t seem to penetrate.\u00a0 I hope it holds this time.<\/p>\n

And speaking of rain yesterday — all of outside was wet and rainy and disgusting, so I wasn’t able to get pictures of yarns from Saturday’s dyeing.\u00a0 I was finally able to do that this morning, and I am so impressed that I might just start letting yarns dry 24-48 hours before posting pictures.<\/p>\n

I’ve also discovered that with the weather and the house in disarray, I’ve fallen behind on many other things, but I’m catching up.\u00a0 I know many people like winter, but I am not a fan and winter surely isn’t fond of me, either.<\/p>\n

Anyway, let’s look at what was dyed.\u00a0 I was particularly tickled with this week’s collection, both as I was dyeing and again as they came out of their steamer pouches and into the wash-and-rinse.\u00a0 Not a single Twinset that I wouldn’t use myself.<\/p>\n

These are all dyed on my regular Phydlbitz Sock<\/strong> (75\/25 Superwash Corriedale\/Nylon, 430 yards), dyed as Twinsets.\u00a0 Several look like solids, but there are also several that were layered, and two are definitely confetti sprinkled (Twinsets #35-36 and #43-44); either of these would make happy vibrant socks.<\/p>\n

Both of the browns (Twinsets #31-32 and #45-46) are very subtly layered.\u00a0 The darked pair, #45-46, started as a blue-based green that didn’t much please me, so I dipped it in a deep rusty red; the blue-based green left the Twinset with tiny-tiny dots of the blue-dye that didn’t dissolve until the yarn went into the steamer.\u00a0 That rusty red is also in #27-28 and #33-34, in different saturations.<\/p>\n

I used Sunflower Yellow as a lone straight solid dye on #29-30.\u00a0 It is softer than the yellow dye I normally use.\u00a0 Bits of this yellow also appears on #35-36.<\/p>\n

A rich peacock blue showed up on Twinset #37-38.\u00a0 It’s a blend of teal and turquoise.\u00a0 I love how strong this pair is.<\/p>\n

Phydlbitz Sock is $27.50 per skein, but for Monday and Tuesday you can have a matching Twinset for $50.00.\u00a0 You get Preview Pricing because I don’t have to photograph, edit, and post pictures of the claimed yarns to the Blog Reader Specials page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

To claim the ones you want, just send me an email<\/strong><\/a> (ray@knitivity.com) with your numbered requests.\u00a0 Feel free to add any previously posted BRS yarns in your order as well.\u00a0 I’ll mark them off the Available Yarns tally below and then send a PayPal invoice.\u00a0 On payment, I will purchase your shipping label so it is ready when the yarns are reskeined and ready for shipping.<\/p>\n

I expect to have these ready to ship on or about Thursday.<\/p>\n

Available Yarns:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>
\nRack 1 – <\/strong>25, 26<\/span><\/del>, 27, 28, 29, 30, <\/strong>31, 32<\/span><\/del>, 33, 34, 35, 36<\/strong><\/span>
