#805-806,\u00a0 811-812, and 817-818 were dyed from different combinations of navy plus another color mixed in.\u00a0 Any one of these would work well with Twinset #799-800 as contrast.<\/p>\n<p>Twinset #807-808 is a single color &#8212; randomly sprinkled with Black then smooshed along the strands, then dipped in a clear bath to further soften the dots.<\/p>\n<p>That same black dye was used as a central band on #803-804, and then I filled one end of those skeins with an amethyst-pink fade, with a blue and turquoise fade at the other end.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I did a similar multi-color with navy in the middle and different colors at each end of the hank.<\/p>\n<p>All of these are on Phydlbitz Sock 2.0 (75\/25 Superwash 25-micro Merino\/Nylon, 460 yards each).\u00a0 Normally Phydlbitz is $28.00, but for Sunday and Monday, visitors are invited to claimed any two or more skeins from this week&#8217;s collection (#799 &#8211; 822) for just $26.00 each.<\/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 numbered requests.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll mark your requests off the Available Yarns table below, and send a PayPal invoice.\u00a0 Once paid, I will print your shipping label so I can ship your yarns as soon as this collection is dried and ready to ship.<\/p>\n<p>I expect to ship on or about Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Available Yarns:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Rack 1 &#8211;
