Happy Saturday!<\/p>\n

Earlier this week I got a shipment of dyes to replenish some of my regular dyes as well as adding some new colors for me to try, both from my regular brand and another brand.\u00a0 I was excited last night to get to try some of them, with varying results.<\/p>\n

One of the new-to-me dyes was a small sample jar called Lilac.\u00a0 I\u00a0 dyed it solid on Twinset #175-176, and also make two-tone fades with Gray (#169-170) and Emerald (#189-190), which is another of the new-to-me colors.\u00a0 \u00a0Twinset #179-180 is a solid Emerald.\u00a0 \u00a0I like the Emerald, but not as much as I like my long-time Knitivity Green #1, a blend I have to create each time.<\/p>\n

Another color I got (from the other brand) is called Chocolate Brown. I was expecting something more like either a milk chocolate or maybe dark chocolate.\u00a0 I used a full saturation, but what came out looks to me more like a dark dark mauve (#177-178).<\/p>\n

I also got a fresh jar of Jet Black (#185-186), which came out better than the other black I had, but it still isn’t as rich as I would like.\u00a0 But at least it is a fairly even overall dye job.\u00a0 \u00a0I may have to double-saturate it if I try to do another solid black Twinset.<\/p>\n

Twinset #187-188 started as a regular Red, which I softened by mixing in the last little bit of the Lilac.\u00a0 Oddly, I suspect this pair would work well with the dark mauve of #177-178, if you’re into two-tone stripes or patterning.<\/p>\n

All of these are Phydlbitz Sock, 75\/25 Superwash Corriedale\/Nylon, 430 yards, and will be on the Blog Reader Specials page<\/strong><\/a> at $27.50 each.\u00a0 For Saturday and Sunday, you can take any two or more for just $25.50.<\/p>\n

To claim the ones you want, just send me an email<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 (ray@knitivity.com) with your requests.\u00a0 I’ll mark your requests off the Available Yarns tally chart below and then send you a PayPal invoice.\u00a0 Upon payment, I will print your shipping label so your package is ready as soon as the yarns are fully dried and ready to ship.\u00a0 I expect to have this week’s collection ready to ship on or about Wednesday.<\/p>\n
