2021 Yarn Advent Calendar - Tropics/Beach

April 10th at 12pm EST, these listings will be updated for purchasing.

This is my first ever time doing yarn advent calendars. I am both super excited and very nervous. Spots are limited as I don’t want to overwhelm myself the first year.

The theme is tropics with an emphasis on beaches, sand and discoveries one can make at the beach. Come with me as I explore sand colors, sea glass, seashells and tropical flowers. Expect an emphasis of blues and greens with pinks, yellows, reds and purples thrown in. This will not fade but everything will go together cohesively. You can expect both tonals and variegates with the occasional speckled colorway. (When I say speckles, I mean a variegated colorway with speckles in it.)

The yarn advent will consist of 24 20-gram minis on your choice of base, each individually packaged and numbered for daily opening, and a full skein of the same base for Christmas Day. Additional treats with awesome collaborators have also been lined up to open along the way. These may include tea, markers, hand cream and more. 

These orders are non-refundable and will be mailed mid-to-end of October in an effort to avoid any holiday shipping delays in the mailing system.  Shipping is included for domestic United States.

Yarn Base Options:

Boardwalk Sock: 75% Superwash Merino wool, 25% Nylon - 4ply - 92yds/20g // 463 yds/100g

Dune DK: 100% superwash Merino wool - 8 ply - 54yds/20g // 274yds/100g

Boardwalk DK: 75% Superwash Merino wool, 25% Nylon - 4 ply // 49yds/20g // 245yds/100g (only 3 available)

Disclaimers:

Yarn is soaked in a yuzu scented wool wash before being rinsed until the water runs clear. Some color bleeding for the first few washes may be possible. It is advised to wash your makes separately.

Additionally, I recommend washing handmade items with a mild detergent and laying flat to dry. Superwash items can possible be machine washing on gentle cycle but I can not be held responsible for any mishaps. Non-Superwash items should DEFINITELY be hand washed.

All yarn comes from a pet friendly home, specifically cats as the dog has zero access to my studio. Twisted and labeled yarn is kept from up and away from possible kitty snuggles but please keep this information in mind when purchasing.

A beautiful skein of yarn inspired by the gorgeous cherry blossoms that bloom in much of the country (but I’m specifically thinking of Washington DC) during March. I’ve always wanted to go to see all the trees in full bloom.

A beautiful soft delicate tonal pink that pairs with just about anything. Pair it with a dark yarn for a lovely contrast, blend it with other lighter colors or use it on its own. The possibilities are endless.

I do recommend alternating hand dyed skeins within a larger project to avoid any pooling but this is just a light tonal that it may not be necessary. Use your best judgement.

Disclaimers: This listing is for one skein of yarn only. Please use the quantity selector if you desire more than one skein. Photos are a representation of the colorway you will receive. Monitors may vary slightly causing variations in colors seen. I do my best to accurately portray the given color(s) but I full admit that photography and photo editing is not my forte.

Yarn is soaked in a yuzu scented wool wash before being rinsed until the water runs clear. Some color bleeding for the first few washes may be possible especially for those highly saturated colors. It is advised to wash your makes separately.

Additionally, I recommend washing handmade items with a mild detergent and laying flat to dry. Superwash items can possibly be machine washing on gentle cycle but I can not be held responsible for any mishaps. Non-Superwash items should DEFINITELY be hand washed.

A delightful variegation of darken burgundy with hints of Dusty Rose, creamy yellow and speckles of orangey pink, these skeins are just delectable, like the swirls of raspberry cheesecake. 

Leave me a comment in the checkout notes and I’ll be more than happy to cake any skein up for you.

Disclaimers:

This listing is for a single skein. Please purchase your desired quantity using the quantity selector.

While I strive to take as accurate of a photo for each colorway, photos are a representation and your skein will not be exactly the one(s) in the photo(s). I hand dye/paint/speckle each individual skein and as is the nature of indie dyed yarn, every single skein is unique. I hope that we can all accept and be ok with that fact. To prevent color pooling in larger projects, it is recommended that you alternate skeins either every row or every other row.

I soak in an unscented (or minimally scented) soap and wash each skein until the water runs clear. Some color bleeding for the first few washes may be possible though so it is advised to wash separately.

Additionally, while superwash items are technically machine washable, for the longevity of your piece, it is recommended that all handmade items are hand washed and laid flat to dry.

The softest most neutral of colors that I have ever dyed, this gave me a run for my money when I went to recreate it.

I now offer a sweater quantity discount. Please see the chart below for the codes and corresponding discount.
