Happy Sunday!<\/p>\n

This week we have just ten skeins of DK yarn in a 75\/25 Superwash Merino\/Nylon blend, 245 yards each.\u00a0 \u00a0It’s a short collection this week, and I’m hoping to have more yarn ordered by the end of the coming week.<\/p>\n

I went into the dye session thinking I would do all single skeins, but I did end up doing a couple Twinsets.\u00a0 I had been given dye samples from a different brand, which came in little pre-measured sachets.\u00a0 The first Twinset (#157-158) was a color called Deep Water, which came up looking more like Teal than what I expected.\u00a0 The sachet wasn’t enough to cover adequately, so I supplemented the vat with some navy, creating a two-tone pair of lovely yarns, perfect for a cowl, scarf, or hat.\u00a0 \u00a0The other Twinset (#165-166) is a straight violet pair.<\/p>\n

The other sample sachet I got was Blood Orange, seen on #159.\u00a0 Skein #160 was a blend of leftover brown and other colors from the previous dye session — a nice deep chocolate-y color.\u00a0 \u00a0That skein took up most of the color, but there was a little remaining so I supplemented it with a dash of gray and created #163.<\/p>\n

Skein #161 was a jar of leftover reds from the previous dye session; it came out good and rich, with some dye remaining so I added a little gray to that as well to create #164.\u00a0 \u00a0Skein #162 is a straight Aztec Gold.<\/p>\n

All of these will be on the Blog Reader Specials page at $28.00 each, but you can take your pick\u00a0 early with just $1-per-skein for shipping inside the U.S.<\/p>\n

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

To claim the ones you want, just send me an email<\/strong><\/a> (ray@knitivity.com) and I’ll take care of it for you.\u00a0 As selections are claimed I will mark them off the Available Yarns tally below.<\/p>\n
