Description

The advent calendar includes:
- 25 individually wrapped and numbered mini skeins, so you know when to open them
- 2 handmade clay charms by The Littlest Charm co
- A few extras are included such as (but not limited to) stickers, charms, tea and possibly more! While I know we all enjoy some extra surprises, the main part of the advent is yarn so if you're here for the extras this may not be the advent for you.

Did you know that Tia's self-striping yarns are local to us? You can read all about it here!

When we found out, we knew we had to bring them in! This particular base makes for some very long-wearing socks and we think you'll be pleased with the result! Knit them up yourself or use our sock tube service. Either way, we recommend a contrast color heel to keep that fantastic striped look!

Once knit, each stripe is about 4-5 rows (will differ slightly based on gauge).

Care

This yarn has been hand dyed with professional acid dyes in a smoke free, but pet-friendly home.
This yarn has been washed thoroughly after the dyeing process but please wash with caution the first time.
For best results, hand wash and hang or lay flat to dry.

On color

All skeins will be sold as pictured above, in the hand-wound gobstopper balls.
Because this yarn is hand dyed skeins may vary slightly from each other, but I try my best to get them to be as identical as I possibly can.
