By the way, do feel free to follow me on FB or IG — the more people who follow and interact on social media, the more frequently my posts are shown to others as well.\u00a0 I don’t entirely understand the algorithms involved on social media, but I know that when people Like and Share my posts, or even just comment, the platform will then further show my posts to even more people.<\/p>\n Anyway, a Knitivity supporter on FB (Hi Karen!) reminded me that the holidays are coming, and wouldn’t it be good to have colors for holiday stockings and caps.\u00a0 So that was my starting point — Christmas Green (#491-492) and Red (#503-504).<\/p>\n I had originally wanted a Twinset with both the green and red, but the green I was using (Emerald) is apparently made of colors that separate, so the green broke and some blue bled out, as you can see on #495-496.\u00a0 Fortunately the bleeding was consistent and isn’t ugly, it’s just not the look I was going for.\u00a0 If you want #495-496 I’ll take an extra $2.00 off per skein.<\/p>\n But before Christmas there is Halloween.\u00a0 So I made a Twinset of Pumpkin Orange and Purple (#487-488), as well as some feiry yellow-and-orange (#493-494) and a wild-and-crazy candy-bowl of mixed colors (#485-486).<\/p>\n We can’t forget the Winter Solstice on December 21.\u00a0 Twinsets #489-490 and #497-498 both look sufficiently moody for the longest night of the year.\u00a0 \u00a0Both Twinsets were made of a random mix of blues and other colors, so there’s no way I can duplicate either of these two Twinsets.<\/p>\n All of these are long skeins (about 115g\/460 yards in real life) because that’s how they come to me in pre-formed hanks instead of me pulling hanks off the cones myself.<\/p>\n These are 75\/25 Superwash 25-micron Merino\/Nylon, and will be $27.50 when they land on the Blog Reader Specials page.\u00a0 \u00a0For Sunday and Monday, however, you can take any two or more skeins from this week’s collection – #485-508 for just $26.00 each.<\/p>\n To claim the ones you want just send me an email<\/strong><\/a> with your requests; I’ll mark your selections off the Available Yarns tally chart below and send a PayPal invoice.\u00a0 If you are outside the U.S. please let me know so I can calculate First Class International shipping for you.<\/p>\n Available Yarns:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy Sunday! Thunderstorms are forecast to move in shortly, so the yarns are already back inside to dry in the fan room for a couple days before reskeining and shipping.\u00a0 I hope to have this week’s collection ready to ship on or about Thursday.
