when you buy Knitivity yarns, you&#8217;re dealing with just one person (me), and I hope to provide what the big companies either can&#8217;t or don&#8217;t.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>All of these are on Phydlbitz Sock 2.0 (75\/25\u00a0 25-micron Superwash Merino\/Nylon, 430+ yards per skein), and are normally $27.50.\u00a0 For Saturday and Sunday you can claim any matching Twinset at $26.00 per skein.\u00a0 They will, of course, be reskeined and properly presented for shipping, but claiming early means I don&#8217;t need to photograph, edit, and post pictures of the claimed ones.\u00a0 You save me some time and labor, and I save you a little money.\u00a0 Win-win!<\/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 numbered requests.\u00a0 I will mark your requests off and then send you a PayPal invoice.\u00a0 Before payment, please make sure PayPal has your correct shipping address, as that is where I print your shipping labels from.<\/p>\n<p>Given the conditions of the 10-Day weather forecast, I should have this week&#8217;s collection ready to ship on or about Wednesday or Thursday of this coming week.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Available Yarns:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Rack 1 &#8211;
