Good morning, and Happy Saturday!<\/p>\n

I was a little apprehensive over the dyes I pulled out yesterday, but I am happily surprised at this amazing and beautiful collection I offer you this week.<\/p>\n

I started with a speckle that reminds me of blurry Impressionist paintings — #333-334.\u00a0 \u00a0There were a couple of monochrome fades (#327-328 and 343-344), using the runoff dyes from other Twinsets.\u00a0 \u00a0Twinset #323-324 was intended to\u00a0 be a similar monochrome fade, but apparently the fuchsia doesn’t take up as quickly as the blues.\u00a0 The blues struck right away, while the lingering fuchsia hung around and colored the other end of the hank.\u00a0 It’s always fascinating how certain dyes interact in combination with other dyes.<\/p>\n

There are several multi-color segmented Twinsets this week, with some speckles and some variations of techniques I’ve done before.<\/p>\n

Many years ago I dyed some roving and found it was best to contain the fiber in a knee-high nylon stocking.\u00a0 I think next week I will try putting a hank or two into a knee-high stocking and applying dyes as if on a regular Twinset, just to see what will happen.\u00a0 \u00a0With summer approaching, I also want to get some larger pickle jars to try sun-dyeng again.\u00a0 I’m just not willing to buy a gallon of pickles just for the jar.<\/p>\n

This week’s true DumpDye (#345-346) is a blend of the remaining spruce and turquoise dyes.<\/p>\n

These are all Phydlbitz Sock 2.0 — a superior sock yarn of 75% Superwash 25-micron Merino\/25% Nylon, 460 yards each, normally $28.00 each skein.\u00a0 Visitors on Saturday and Sunday may claim any matching Twinset from this week’s collection (#323 – 346) at $52.00 for each matching pair.<\/p>\n

To claim the ones you want just send me an email (ray@knitivity.com<\/strong>) with your requested item numbers; I’ll mark your requests off the Available Yarns table below and then send a PayPal invoice.\u00a0 Even if you don’t have a PayPal account, they will process your credit or debit card just fine. If you are outside the U.S., please let me know so I can calculate your international shipping correctly.<\/p>\n

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