What is a yarn advent calendar?
Good question! Traditional advent calendars have small doors or packages 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 can now have one containing your favorite thing - yarn!
You can purchase your calendar today or you can put down a $50 deposit to reserve one. Payment options are explained below.
+++How to order your advent calendar:
1. Choose either 12 or 24 skeins of yarn in your kit. Each skein is 20g.
2. Pick your theme. Punk rock has bright, bold colors including some neon. Classic Rock has warm, rich colors.
3. Choose your yarn type. We have 6 options including fingering weight, DK, and worsted weight yarn. You can see the details of each yarn types below.
4. Choose your packaging:
Wrapped sets come packaged like a traditional Advent Calendar. You will receive small, dated packages of individual skeins to be opened each day, December 1st-24th. Twelve skein kits will also come wrapped and numbered. You choose which 12 days to open them.
This is a good option if you want to be surprised daily and knit in the order we have determined.
Unwrapped sets are packaged with all of the skeins immediately visible. This is a good option if you would like to see all of the colors at once.
Unwrapped skeins come numbered; you can use our order or design your own.
