I am never 100% sure what’s going to come from the palette selection I pull for each week’s dyeing session.\u00a0 Thankfully, at least most of the time, the colors conspire to make one-of-a-kind combinations you won’t likely find elsewhere.\u00a0 This week there seems to be some moody and mysterious drama going on that I wasn’t expecting.<\/p>\n
Starting with Twinset #273-274, it started as a deep charcoal fade, then I added some red overwash at one end.\u00a0 I don’t always recommend a two-tone for things like shawls, but I think this would be a stunning simple stole in a broken rib texture.\u00a0 Another Twinset, #281-282, would also be excellent for this — a deep charcoal with a navy wash.<\/p>\n
And speaking of charcoal and red — at the end of the session, I combined what little charcoal I had with the remainder of the red to create Twinset #287-288 as a deep solid maroon sort of color.\u00a0 Another excellent Twinset to knit up into a shawl, a perfect solid for your favorite lace stitching.\u00a0 Can’t go wrong with solids for lacework.<\/p>\n
Twinset #291-293 is random deep charcoal freckles on otherwise undyed yarn.\u00a0 This technique would work well with just about any color you might want.\u00a0 If you need some pretty freckled yarns, please let me know.<\/p>\n
There are both monochrome fades (as on #275-276, 279-280, and 289-290) as well as a two-tone combination #283-284).<\/p>\n
All Phydlbitz Sock 2.0<\/strong> (75\/25 Superwash 25-micron Merino\/Nylon, 460 yards each) are normally $28.00.\u00a0 \u00a0For Saturday and Sunday, visitors are invited to claim any matching Twinset of this week’s collection (#273-296) for $52.00 for each matching pair.<\/p>\n To claim the ones you want, send me an email (ray@knitivity.com<\/strong><\/a>) with your numbered selections.\u00a0 Be sure to let me know if you are outside the U.S., so I can calculate your shipping charges correctly.\u00a0 There is a certain minimum for most international shipping, so it’s the same charge whether you want two skeins or six in a single package.<\/p>\n Speaking of shipping — I\u00a0 learned this week that the U.S.P.S. may be adding an 8% surcharge on packages starting at the end of April until 2027.\u00a0 This is apparently due to uncertain fluctuations in fuel costs, thanks to recent current events.\u00a0 I will know more once they finalize their plans.<\/p>\n I had hoped to get the new shipment of yarns before I dyed yesterday, but FedEx tells me the April yarns should be arriving today.\u00a0 \u00a0I ordered a small amount of 100% Superwash Merino laceweight, with about 1300 yards for 100grams, so it should be an excellent yarn for your fine lace knitting.\u00a0 One customer has already called dibs on a Turquoise skein.\u00a0 If you want a skein (or two or more) please let me know how many and what color(s) you need.\u00a0 \u00a0It will be $29.00 per skein.<\/p>\n I expect to have this current collection ready to ship on or about Wednesday.<\/p>\n Available Yarns:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span> Happy Saturday!
