As you can see from the yarns, there are several water-themed combinations available this week.<\/p>\n<p>Most of these <strong>Phydlbitz Sock<\/strong> Twinsets have several different dyes applied individually before further treatment, but a few of them are DumpDyes &#8212; like #613-614 (some of the blues and a gold into the dye bath), #623-624 (all the leftover teal, turquoise, and sky blue), and #607-608 (yellow base with a pink overdye).\u00a0 What fascinates me is that even when mixed in the dye bath, certain combinations fully blend, while in\u00a0 other combinations the dyes &#8220;break&#8221; and you can see the various colors.<\/p>\n<p>Many of these Twinsets will also combine with some of the previously posted <a href=\"https:\/\/knitivity.com\/index.php\/blog-reader-specials\/\"><strong>Blog Reader Specials<\/strong><\/a>, so be sure to check there and allow inspiration to guide your selections.\u00a0 \u00a0And then be sure to send me pictures of what you create with my yarns.<\/p>\n<p>I can see any of my yarns working together for shawls, scarves, sweaters, and even leggings (!).\u00a0 \u00a0As an easy-care yarn, these are especially good for baby items, and can be tossed into the wash.<\/p>\n<p>These are all <strong>Phydlbitz Sock 2.0<\/strong> (75\/25 Superwash Merino\/Nylon, 430+ yards each) and are normally $27.50.\u00a0 For Saturday and Sunday, you can take any two or more for just $26.00 each, including any selections from the <a href=\"https:\/\/knitivity.com\/index.php\/blog-reader-specials\/\"><strong>Blog Reader Special page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/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 requested items.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll mark your selections off from the Available Yarns tally chart below, and send a\u00a0 PayPal invoice.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know I offer a referral bonus?\u00a0 If your friend places an order and tells me your name and email, you&#8217;ll get a 10% discount on your next order.\u00a0 \u00a0I&#8217;m also happy to fill a group order, so if your local knitting group wants to order yarns, I can ship them all to one address which reduces the shipping costs for everyone in your group.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Available Yarns:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Rack 1 &#8211; 605, 606, 607, 608, 609, 610, <\/strong><del><span style=\"color: #cbcbcb;\">611, 612<\/span><\/del><strong>, <\/strong><del>613, 614<\/del><strong>, 615, 616<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Rack 2 &#8211; 617, 618, <\/strong><del><span style=\"color: #cbcbcb;\">619, 620<\/span><\/del><strong>, 621, 622, 623, 624, <\/strong><del><span style=\"color: #cbcbcb;\">625, 626<\/span><\/del><strong>, 627, 628<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BRS25-22Aug-Rack1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2470\" src=\"https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BRS25-22Aug-Rack1.jpg\" alt=\"Image of handdyed yarns drying on a rack.\" width=\"800\" height=\"747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BRS25-22Aug-Rack1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BRS25-22Aug-Rack1-300x280.jpg 300w, https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BRS25-22Aug-Rack1-768x717.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BRS25-22Aug-Rack2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2469\" src=\"https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BRS25-22Aug-Rack2.jpg\" alt=\"Image of handdyed yarns drying on a rack.\" width=\"800\" height=\"730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BRS25-22Aug-Rack2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BRS25-22Aug-Rack2-300x274.jpg 300w, https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BRS25-22Aug-Rack2-768x701.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>=================================<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/b5ebTP\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-62\" src=\"https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ClickSubscribeKnitivityInsider-small.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"93\" \/><\/a>Want to always get the deals first? <a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/b5ebTP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Subscribe to the Knitivity Insider<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Saturday!
