It’s the hottest day of the year so far in the UK so that can only mean one thing…..Advent Calendars!
I know, I know, it’s a bit hard to be thinking of the cooler months and Christmas especially as its only just started to warm up…but here at Nellie and Eve, I have been hard behind the scenes getting together a gorgeous stash of goodies from respected designer/makers to be included into this years mini skein advent calendar box and I couldn’t wait any longer to share it with you.
As the box is a pre-order announcing it now means I have lots of time to dedicate to hand dyeing all the yarn involved & hopefully take advantage of the summer months to dry your yarn outside in the warm air.
(my preferred natural method)
So what’s it all about I hear you ask…..here’s what’s included in each box:
24 x 20g mini skeins of 4PLY plant dyed yarn in either BFL/Masham (mid grey base) OR 4PLY Welsh Mule (light base) each skein will be individually wrapped & numbered
‘Christmas in the Country’ colours of Gorse, Berry, Heather & Spruce - some will be variegated, others will be semi-solid, some fades & a few repeats so that you will be able to use all your skeins in larger projects if so desired.
PLUS
An exclusive wool felt needle/hook pouch by ‘RURAL KIND’
10 Natural wax melts in a winter solstice scent by ‘The Smallest Light’
2 Hand blocked lavender squares by ‘Hannah Madden Printmaker’
Yarn crafters notebook by ‘Katie Green Bean’
PDF shawl pattern by me (emailed to you when the advent box dispatches)
Please note:
This is a Pre-Order and places are limited….Orders are open until 30th June
Your Advent calendar will be dispatched at the end of October
