in others I have combined semi-solid\/nearly-solid colors with multi-color variegated yarns.<\/p>\n<p>There really is no limit to how my yarns can be combined, so I hope you allow these images to spark your own creativity.\u00a0 They&#8217;re all listed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/knitivity.com\/index.php\/blog-reader-specials\/\"><strong>Blog Reader Specials page<\/strong><\/a>, some as single skeins and some still as Twinsets but you are welcome to split a Twinset.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve made sure the item numbers are shown clearly in each picture.<\/p>\n<p>Mind you, my musings on these trios are entirely my own, intended only to spark your own imagination and inspiration.\u00a0 What do YOU see in these colors?\u00a0 I confess that sometimes while dyeing I would see pasta with red sauce and grated cheese, or the brilliant colors of a Mexican restaurant menu.\u00a0 Or melon balls of all colors.\u00a0 And I always swear I&#8217;m going to eat before dyeing.\u00a0 hahaha.\u00a0 Go with whatever comes to mind for you.<\/p>\n<p>Every three skeins will be $66.00 for whatever trio you select (even less if you take yarns with pink labels).\u00a0 And, of course, you are welcome to pick out as many trios as you like &#8212; my combinations shown here are my own random selections.\u00a0 You are welcome to request group pictures of whatever three you are interested in so you can see them together.\u00a0 \u00a0All the pictures on the BRS page were take outside in various daylight;
