It is totally fine to request just one skein of a Twinset.\u00a0 I have rotated one skein of each pair, and then twisted the lower ends of each skein so that you can see all the colors appearing on each skein.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, Phydlbitz Sock is $27.50 per skein.\u00a0 For Saturday and Sunday, you can claim any two or more for just $25.50 each at Preview Pricing.<\/p>\n<p>To claim the ones you want, just <a href=\"mailto:ray@knitivity.com\"><strong>send me an email<\/strong><\/a> and I&#8217;ll calculate your invoice with today&#8217;s Preview Pricing discount.\u00a0 I will mark your requests off the Available Yarns tally chart below and then send a PayPal invoice.\u00a0 You do NOT need a PayPal account, as you can pay your invoice with a credit or debit card, and PayPal will process your payment.<\/p>\n<p>I expect to have this week&#8217;s collection to be ready to ship on or about Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Available Yarns:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>1 &#8211; <\/strong><del><span style=\"color: #cbcbcb;\">697<\/span><\/del><strong>, 698, 699, 700, 701, 702, <\/strong><del><span style=\"color: #cbcbcb;\">703<\/span><\/del><strong>, 704, 705, 706, 707, 708<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>2 &#8211; 709, 710, <\/strong><del><span style=\"color: #cbcbcb;\">711, 712<\/span><\/del><strong>, <\/strong><del><span style=\"color: #cbcbcb;\">713, 714<\/span><\/del><strong>, <\/strong><del><span style=\"color: #cbcbcb;\">715, 716<\/span><\/del><strong>, <\/strong><del>717, 718<\/del><strong>, 719, 720<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/BRS24-19Sep-Rack1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-768\" src=\"https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/BRS24-19Sep-Rack1.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of yarns drying on the rack.\" width=\"800\" height=\"776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/BRS24-19Sep-Rack1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/BRS24-19Sep-Rack1-300x291.jpg 300w, https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/BRS24-19Sep-Rack1-768x745.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/BRS24-19Sep-Rack2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-767\" src=\"https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/BRS24-19Sep-Rack2.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of yarns drying on the rack.\" width=\"800\" height=\"759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/BRS24-19Sep-Rack2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/BRS24-19Sep-Rack2-300x285.jpg 300w, https:\/\/knitivity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/BRS24-19Sep-Rack2-768x729.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Saturday!
