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 5 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.

This is a mystery listing to buy 1 month of the Wildflower Club at a time. March - Cherry Blossoms

A new monthly club based on wildflowers (or blossoms in general). One new flower a month for a total of 12 months. The color will be based upon the inspiration photo(s) seen here in the listing.

You have your choice of base and weight. Please see the yarn lines below.

Yarn Lines:

• Boardwalk - 75% Superwash Merino Wool, 25% Nylon
• Coastal - 100% Superwash Merino Wool
• Delta - 100% Non-Superwash Merino Wool

Disclaimers:

• This listing is for a Single skein of yarn.
• If you need more than one skein for your project, please use the quantity selector to chose how many skeins you’ll need to purchase.
• Photos are a representation of each colorway. While I strive to take accurate photos, the nature of indie dyed yarn means each individual skein is unique and batches will vary slightly from each other. 
• Yarn is soaked in unscented (or minimally scented) soap and then washed until the water runs clear. Some color bleeding for the first few washes may be possible. It’s advised to wash separately.
• I recommend hand washing pieces and laying flat to dry.

A pastel rainbow of colors that is not at all what I planned but no less lovely. In fact, I think I might like it more than my original goal. I certainly didn’t keep trying once I saw these skeins dried. 

Soft and delicate enough on its own but bold and bright enough to be used as a secondary color for colorwork.

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

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.

An accidental happiness, this colorway was destined to be something else but a little too bright of colors and I got ‘Starry Night’. I could not be more pleased with the results.

Splashes of deep navy blue, teal and orange combine to give us a fun, random variegated colorway. In the dye pans as well as hank form, it reminds me of Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night painting, hence the name.

Yellows, Purples, Greens and Blues combine to give us this beautiful chaotic combination of colors that I just absolutely love.

Normally dyed in small batches of 3 skeins, each batch is completely unique. Additionally, I allow the colors to flow how they will in the pan so each skein within each batch will also be unique. If you are wanting a larger quantity than 3 skeins, please buy them all at once so that I know to batch dye this for you.

I’m in love with this color. I had an OOAK blue skein that I rubbed some leftover dye on and immediately thought of Sully from Monsters Inc. and I just had to recreate it. This is what I ended up with. A beautiful soft azure blue with smudges and speckles of purple throughout.

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.

The creamiest of yellows, this reminds me of buttercream.

This listing is PREORDER only. As it was not part of the original collection design, I wasn’t sure if anyone would want this. With limited dyeing time, I chose to focus on dyeing the other tonals but this one is no less beautiful. I will ship everything I can ASAP but please allow 2-3 weeks for preorders to be processes. Thank you
