    Sale Day!

    Today's the day.... We'll see how this goes. I've tried to think this through as to how to sell these yarns and this is what I've come up with... 

    Since this grouping is all kettle dyed, and not handpainted, they are all very different, even though they all came from the same big pot.  So, I've given a letter to each yarn in the dyelot. You can select the yarn by telling me the letter you wish to purchase.  As all monitors are calibrated differently, your colors may differ, but hopefully just slightly.  I've given a color discription along with the listing.

    Payment is by Paypal only. Please do so within 24 hours or the yarn will go back into the sale. Remember that you can use Paypal with your credit cards, you don't have to have an account with them.

    Shipping is a flat rate of $6 no matter how many skeins you purchase. So buy them all! Har-I'm funny...

    Mailing of the yarns will be done by Wednesday, May 28th. 

    1. Select the yarn and the letter you wish and email me with your choice to mktilden1 *at* yahoo *dot* com. (Remove the *at* and the *dot* and you're good to go....I don't need any more spambots thank you very much!)

    2.  I'll email you back saying the yarn is yours, and you Paypal me the payment within 24 hours.

    3.  I'll be updating the site with what is sold, and or, pending so you know what is available.

    4. Your yarns will go out by Wednesday.  (Last week of school here, and crazy)

    I want to thank you so much for all of your support and encouragement to do this.  Those of you who have linked to me on your blogs and on Ravelry, and told others about me and my yarns?  Well, you rock and I love you!  Thanks so much....

    New Base...No Name! = Wanna name it? It's a 50% Merino, 50% Acrylic Sport Weight that Byron and I bought in New York on our last trip.  It's VERY soft and comes in one HUGE hank of about 1,350 yards.  It has a soft halo of fiber (you can see it in "Beating Heart"), and knits up super smoothly.  Let me know what you think! Since this is a new base, and not in stores right now it is priced below retail at 25% off.

    Woman, that's a buttload of yarns! Get ready for the sales. You are gonna blowup!

    Ooh, very pretty. Wish I could buy them all!

    I love the Breckenridge silvery gray yarn!! Just posted a link to your sale on my blog :)

    Beautiful! You are going to have a busy weekend, I think. Friends of P on Ravelry are all abuzz.

    I think that your yarn is the most beautiful stuff out there! Seriously...you have an amazing sense of color. Of course, I'm a little biased, but I think that first color you listed is by far the prettiest! :)

    so i did a little research to see if there was a theme going on with the first two yarn bases. i heart themes through a yarn company in base names. so anyway, my suggestions for the new base are woody creek, redstone, meredith or norrie. :) in my order of preference from first choice, second and so on.

    Well, I'm late, as usual. Looks like you did pretty well without me. LOL!

    Thought Black & Blue and Platinum Ring are speaking to me the most. :-)

    I just got my yarn and I have a complaint. They're all so gorgeous, I don't know which one to start with. Sometimes I order yarn and I'm disappointed when it comes. Not this time. They're even better in person! Thanks! I really need some knitting therapy this weekend.

    Lovely yarns! Unfortunately I am on a strict yarn diet at the moment. My credit card is just itching to buy one of these! Denise

    My yarn arrived super fast and is even more gorgeous in person. I can't wait to knit with it! Punk and Bunny are stunning. I'm seeing some Monkeys maybe? Thanks so much for the great quality.

    well, poop. this is what happens when you can't check the blogs regularly. glad the sale went well (REALLY well by the looks of it!) for you! Now I'm off to read your other posts!
