Ordering and Pricing Info for the Balticon 2012 yarns

As in past years, I will be offering discounts for buying more than one colorway...the more you buy, the more you save.

Because these are Limited Editions and in very small quantities there is a limit to one (1) of each colorway for the first week that these are on sale.  After than, if you would like to order more of a particular colorway (and it hasn't sold out already), you are absolutely welcome to do so.  Prices for additional skeins will be $22 each.

These colorways will go on sale Monday, May 14, 2012, at 5:00 pm Eastern.

To order, send an email to DyedBrightHere (at) gmail (dot) com.  

I will then send you an invoice through PayPal.  This invoice is your order confirmation.  If a colorway that you want has already been sold out, I will instead reply directly to your email to see how you would like to proceed at that point.

Orders are first come, first served according to the time stamp of your email.

Prices are:

$24 for 1 colorway

$46 for 2 colorways 

($23 ea and a savings of $2 or 4%)

$66 for 3 colorways 

($22 ea and a savings of $6 or 8%)

$84 for 4 colorways 

($21 ea and a savings of $12 or 12.5%)

$100 for 5 colorways 

($20 ea and a savings of $20 or 17%)

$114 for 6 colorways 

($19 ea and a savings of $30 or 21%)

$126 for the complete set of Balticon 2012 colorways

($18 ea and a savings of $42 or 25%)

If you would like to receive your yarn as a center-pull ball (or yarn cake) instead of in skein form, just let me know and I will be happy to do that for you at no extra cost.

The creation of Enemy Lines the yarn

Enemy Lines is SOLD OUT! Thank you to all who purchased a skein.

I have a few favorite authors/podcasters. These are folks who consistently produce stories I enjoy (many of which I've listened to multiple time AND read because they are just that good), and they also keep their podcast feed active with a constant stream of content.  The work they put out is not just good writing, it's a quality product on a regular basis...something that takes plenty of talent, sure; but more than that, it takes a lot of dedication and hard work. 

The first colorway, Enemy Lines, is based on one of these favorites. 

Enemy lines is a novel by John Mierau.  It is part sci-fi (with space travel, invading aliens, and friendly aliens) and part mystery/espionage thriller.  Mystery/espionage thriller type stories have always been among my favorites so I was really excited to listen to this.  It didn't disappoint!

I was immediately struck by one of the descriptions of the aliens as "the greys".  When the mysterious alien "Pusher" starts wreaking havoc with a yellow-green alien slime I knew I had to create a colorway based on this story.

This is a very simple colorway that will create some dramatic results in the finished project (much like this fantastic story).  It is dark and mysterious, sleek and sophisticated, with a splash of acid green irony and action.

You can see all of the colorways, with links to the original work and the artists/podcasters/websites that inspired them, on the Balticon 2012 page.
