Happy Saturday!<\/p>\n

What a blistering summer it has been, and we’re not even half done with it.\u00a0 I hope all y’all are finding ways to keep cool and avoiding the perils of overheating.\u00a0 I normally do my exercise walks early in the morning, and it is still obnoxiously hot here in Houston.\u00a0 I\u00a0didn’t get to the dyeing until after 7:00 last night, which is unusual for me, but it was just too dang-blang hot to work yesterday.<\/p>\n

There are far too many multi-color yarns still available on the Blog Reader Specials page<\/strong><\/a>, so I thought I’d try again for compatible and\/or contrasting solids, aiming for mostly darks and as fully saturated as I could make them.\u00a0 Some of these are not as fully and evenly colored as I’d like, but\u00a0 I am mostly happy with how these turned out, and I’m confident when combined with a multi-color yarn, the solids will contrast just fine as they are.<\/p>\n

Most of the colors are self-evident, and most were dyed with single mix dyes, rather than combined.\u00a0 \u00a0 Twinset #568-569 is a dark charcoal gray; #572-573 is a sort of taupe; #590-591 is a mostly gray with hints of a greenish-gray undertone; #580-581 is a combination of all the remaining dyes at the end of the night.<\/p>\n

These are all\u00a0 Phydlbitz Sock (75\/25 Superwash Corriedale\/Nylon, 430 yards), normally $27.50 but for Saturday and Sunday, you may select any two more more (matching or not) for $25.50 each.\u00a0 And for this weekend, if you take any two or more from this new collection (BRS24 – #568 – 591) you can also select any previously posted yarn on the Blog Reader Specials page<\/strong><\/a> for the same discounted price.<\/p>\n

To claim the ones you want just send me an email<\/strong><\/a> with your numbered item requests.\u00a0 I’ll mark them off the Available Yarns<\/strong><\/span> tally chart below and then send your PayPal invoice.<\/p>\n

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