==================================
\n==================================<\/p>\n

Happy Saturday!<\/p>\n

I went into the dye session aiming to re-create the Mother of Pearl colorway that I did many years ago.\u00a0 I used to do it on laceweight yarns, so I wasn’t sure how it would work on Phydlbitz Sock<\/strong>.\u00a0 I tried to use very pale salmon, sky, and teal.\u00a0 My two attempts using different application techniques are on Twinsets #227-228 and #239-240.\u00a0 \u00a0The three solid Twinsets using the same dyes are #223-224, 231-231, and 235-236.\u00a0 Combining all ten skeins would create a luscious baby blanket, perhaps using strips of cables, or maybe mitered squares or some other block method.<\/p>\n

Twinset #219-220 is a rich teal, while\u00a0#229-230 is a two-tone fade with medium navy and simple gray.<\/p>\n

This week’s true DumpDye is Twinset #233-234 — at the end of the dye session, I combined the leftover navy with the leftover salmon, expecting some range of overall dark plum, but as it is drying it has a slight iridescent quality, full of life.\u00a0 This would make a stunning shawl or stole knit up in a light texture like a simple seed stitch.\u00a0 \u00a0(This is actually the effect I was hoping to get with the Mother of Pearl experiment.)<\/p>\n

This are all on Phydlbitz Sock 2.0<\/strong>\u00a0 (75\/25 Superwash 25-micron Merino\/Nylon, 460 yards), normally $28.00 per skein.\u00a0 For Saturday and Sunday, visitors are welcome to claim any two or more skeins from this week’s collection (#219 – 242)\u00a0 at $26.00 per skein.<\/p>\n

To claim the ones you want, just send me an email<\/strong><\/a> with your selections.\u00a0 I will mark your requests from the Available Yarns tally chart below, and send you a PayPal invoice.\u00a0 On payment I will prepare your shipping label so your yarns can ship as soon as they are dried and ready to ship.<\/p>\n

I expect to have these ready to ship on or about Wednesday.<\/p>\n
