75\/25 Superwash Merino, 460 yards &#8211; $28.00<\/li>\n<li><strong>Phydlbitz Sock<\/strong> &#8211; 75\/25 Superwash Corriedale\/Nylon, 430 yards &#8211; $27.00<\/li>\n<li><strong>Merino Light Fingering<\/strong> &#8211; 100% Superwash Merino, 500 yards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t do any deliberate fades or segmented or variegated dyes this week.\u00a0 The Phydlbitz Sock yarns are all nearly solid, while the Merino based yarns are mostly a mix of splatter and smoosh without distinct areas of color.\u00a0 This makes them suited for either socks or a large shawl with very minimal color pooling.\u00a0 I do, however, recommend alternating balls every 2-4 rows when knitting, which further minimizes the risk of unwanted pooling as well as the sometimes obvious change to a new ball of yarn.<\/p>\n<p>All but #616 were dyed as Twinsets, especially handy for those larger-than-socks projects.\u00a0 You are never obligated to take both skeins of a Twinset; feel free to mix and match as the Preview Pricing discount is for any two or more skeins from this week&#8217;s collection (BRS24 &#8211; #616 &#8211; 642)<\/p>\n<p>For Sunday and Monday, you may claim any <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>two or more<\/strong><\/span> of these to be invoiced with a 15% Preview Pricing discount.<\/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 selections and I will invoice you through PayPal.\u00a0 Even if you don&#8217;t have a PayPal account, you can use your debit or credit card and they will process the payment for me.\u00a0 Just be sure PayPal has your current shipping address.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I do ship internationally, so if you are outside the U.S. please let me know so I can calculate your shipping charges.\u00a0 Because international package shipping has a minimum weight charge, 1 skein ships for the same price as 6 skeins, so feel free to indulge your fiber fantasy.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Available Yarns<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>1 &#8211;
