What is a hand dyed yarn Advent Calendar?
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 dyed by hand to match a color theme. Our past themes have included 100 Acre Woods, It's in a Book, MidCentury, The Shire, and Dragon's Dungeon.
You can completely customize your hand-dyed yarn advent calendar from The Woolly Dragon in four different categories including the size of the skeins, thickness of the yarn, and more.
What can you do with 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.
We have full size skeins of yarn in coordinating colors to add to the Advent calendars to stretch the mini skeins even further.
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.
2025's Advent Calendars are available in the shop now until August.
