Happy Saturday!<\/p>\n

I thought we were cooling down into more autumn-like weather.\u00a0 Boy, was I fooled!\u00a0 It got up to the upper 90s and I got wiped out with the heat until late in the evening.\u00a0 But no matter — I got the dyeing done last night and got them all washed and rinsed this morning.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The afternoon started with a thought toward dyeing neutrals instead of the brighter colors I use more often.\u00a0 I wanted to start with gray and add small tinges of various colors.\u00a0 However, as they say, “The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.”\u00a0 I started with the gray, but it quickly went to pot and I knew better than to fight where the colors insisted on going.<\/p>\n

These were all dyed as Twinsets, and every Twinset has at least 3 colors applied, either in layers or splatters.\u00a0 Many of them remind me of shadows passing over.\u00a0 \u00a0Twinsets #683-684 and 695-696 are both DumpDyes combining multiple colors except black<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 I still have nearly the full jar of black remaining.\u00a0 \u00a0One of them is a combination of navy and purple with a little gray, the other is the final DumpDye at the end of the dye session, using all the remaining dyes.<\/p>\n

Oddly, even holding out in the sunlight I cannot really tell which is the navy-purple-gray and which is the one with everything including those 3\u00a0 plus all the other colors.\u00a0 \u00a0The cool thing about these two DumpDye Twinsets is that if you need a rather ambiguous dark contrast to highlight other brighter colors, either of these should work well.\u00a0 For example, if you need contrasting heels and toes on your socks, or maybe you need a clear separator band on an otherwise bright stripe design, these would do just fine.<\/p>\n

All of these are on Phydlbitz Sock (75\/25 Superwash Corriedale\/Nylon, 430 yards each) and are normally $27.50 each.\u00a0 For Saturday and Sunday, each matching Twinset will be invoiced at $50.00 (i.e., $25.00 each).<\/p>\n
