10% off all posted items, as well as the Blind Bundle deal with 3 skeins of <strong>Phydlbitz Sock<\/strong> for just $70 (save $12.50 for each bundle).\u00a0 This offer ends tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Now for this week&#8217;s new Blog Reader Special collection &#8211; two dozen <strong>Phydlbitz Sock<\/strong> dyed as mostly solid Twinsets.<\/p>\n<p>I went into the session planning on solids because nearly all the\u00a0 previously shown Phydlbitz Sock yarns are multi-color and will look amazing combined with coordinating\/contrasting solids.\u00a0 If there are unclaimed yarns this week, I will combine them with some other Phydlbitz Sock as 3-skein bundles, but I will photograph and post them so you can see the yarns and imagine the possibilities.\u00a0 This will be coming in the next week or so.<\/p>\n<p>As I prepared the dyes, I started by blending dyes into the jars &#8212; a little of this and a little of that into each jar&#8211; to create blended solids;\u00a0 I specifically didn&#8217;t want just straight dyes from the jars of dye powder.\u00a0 Then as I dyed each Twinset, I further blended the pre-blending dyes into the dipping bowl, further blending and combining the dyes.\u00a0 Thus, none of this week&#8217;s collection is a straight dye.\u00a0 On some of them there appears to be layering and separating, but they were all dyed the same way using a dip-dye technique.\u00a0 It would be nearly impossible to identify each of the individual colors I used on any particular Twinset, but the pictures I show here are as true as I can make them.<\/p>\n<p>If you need a close-up of any particular Twinset, please let me know and I can grab a picture for you.<\/p>\n<p>Phydlbitz Sock is normally $27.50 each, but for Saturday and Sunday, you can take any two or more for just $25.50 each, matching or not matching.<\/p>\n<p>I expect to have this week&#8217;s collection all processed and ready to ship on Thursday or Friday.<\/p>\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 marked them off the Available Yarns tally chart and then send a PayPal invoice.\u00a0 It&#8217;s okay if you don&#8217;t have a PayPal account; they will process your credit\/debit cards just fine so I never see your financial information.\u00a0 \u00a0PayPal also takes care of shipping details, so be sure they have your current shipping address.\u00a0 However, do let me know if you are outside the U.S. so I can calculate your shipping charges correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Also, it is perfectly fine to combine requests to take some of\u00a0 this new collection and any previous Blog Reader Specials and Blind Bundles.\u00a0 I can manually create your invoice to ensure you are bill correctly.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Available Yarns:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Rack 1 &#8211;
