Happy wet-and-sloppy Saturday!<\/p>\n

It’s been a weird week for me, and I think it is reflected in this week’s collection of yarns.\u00a0 There are several happy bright combinations, but quite a few feel somewhat subdued and moody.\u00a0 This isn’t a bad thing, of course, because a lot of patterns and garments lend themselves to quiet elegance without making an eye-blinding statement.<\/p>\n

This makes me wonder — I know a lot of sock-knitters love the bright combinations, but sock\u00a0 yarns are so useful in other projects that depend on knitting texture and stitch patterns rather than yarn colors, so it’s nice to have variety.\u00a0 \u00a0What do you prefer for your knitting?<\/p>\n

Like, for example, Twinset #453-454 would knit up\u00a0 a light nature-toned semi-solid with blips of chestnut, pink, and yellow.\u00a0 Similarly, Twinset #459-560 is a different combination of washed-out sandy beach tones.<\/p>\n

The final Twinset, #465-466 is a true DumpDye, where I combined the last bits of chestnut, chocolate brown, gold, yellow, and emerald into a fabulous mysteriously dark yarn without a clear identity of its own.<\/p>\n

All of these are Phydlbitz Sock 2.0 — 75\/25\u00a0 Superwash 25-micron Merino\/Nylon, 460 yards each — and regularly $28.00 each.\u00a0 For Saturday and Sunday, visitors are invited to take any matching Twinset of this week’s collection (#443-466) for just $26.00 per skein.<\/p>\n

To claim the ones you want, just send me an email<\/strong><\/a> with your numbered selections.\u00a0 After marking your requests from the chart below, I’ll send you a PayPal invoice.\u00a0 On payment of the invoice, I’ll purchase your shipping label so that when the yarns are dried, reskeined, and ready I can ship them to you.<\/p>\n

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