What are hand dyed yarn advent kits all about?

What is a hand dyed yarn advent kit?

Good question! Traditional advent calendars have small doors or chocolates to open each day in December leading up to Christmas.

Advent calendars for adults have become more popular over the past years including ones for tea, wine, chocolate, and even beauty products. You now can have one containing your favorite thing - yarn!  Each day will reveal a beautifully dyed and wrapped mini skein of hand dyed yarn, 24 in total.

The Woolly Dragon's advent sets include 24 skeins of wool yarn that have been individually dyed to match a color theme. Themes for 2024 include: It's in a Book, MidCentury, and Dragon's Dungeon. You can make selections for your yarn advent kit from four different categories including the size of the skeins, thickness of the yarn, and more.

 

How can you use the 24 mini skeins?

Mini skeins are the perfect way to make a large project with many different colors. Each day you will open a package with a uniquely dyed but color coordinating skein of yarn. It's a foolproof way to choose a palette for striped, stranded, mosaic, or other multicolor styles for knitting and crochet. 

There are also projects you can make using small amounts of assorted yarn colors such as crocheted amigurumi or knit mini stockings for a Christmas garland.  

Hand Dyed Yarn Advent yarn kits are available for preorder in The Woolly Dragon shop July through August 2024.
