The Yarn Advent 2026
Is launching August 28th, this year will be my tenth advent calendar and it’s going to be sweet shop inspired.

I cannot believe that this will be my tenth The Yarn Advent 🤯
A lot has changed in those ten years but also a lot has stayed the same.
The essence has remained - 24 exclusively hand dyed mini skeins lovingly packed into a completely recyclable advent calendar.

This years advent will go on sale on August 28th.

It’s nearly time
So I usually launch The Yarn Advent way early back in March, but this year I was aware I would be moving out of my studio and things might be a little bit chaotic and I didn’t want to commit to anything until I knew I would be able to deliver.
So here we are - launching at the end of August instead, which is actually when I launched my very first advent calendar back in 2017. Making this year my TENTH advent calendar!

I love producing the calendar and although it’s a LOT of work it’s absolutely one of the highlights of my year so I can’t wait to share it with you all.

Save the date Friday 28th August. ⏰

I’ll be sharing some inspiration and all the behind the scenes details over the next few weeks.
If you’ve had the calendar before I would love to know what you’ve made with your skeins.

A little throwback to last years valentines yarn box
🩷🍫💝

I’m planning another valentines themed yarn box for this year which will launch next week.

This year we’re going to celebrating love with a neon twist. 🩷

Inspired by here’s my nod to the 2016 throwback - but in crochet 🧶

Phew! Looking back has made me realise what a big year it was for me. It was the year I finally published The Crochet Sock Collection, had some lovely magazine commissions and the year I first started dabbling with dyes 🌈

I never intended to start dyeing yarn to sell, it was only meant to be for fun, but after some encouragement from friends here I am going into my 10th year!

In so many ways it feels like a million years ago and also 5 minutes ago!!

What can you make with mini skeins? Anything you can knit or crochet! But with more colour 🌈 (and potentially more ends for weaving in 🙈).

What are your favourite mini skein projects?

is back for it’s SEVENTH year in a row!
Once again I’m joining in with the campaign.

I’ll be dyeing up 100 completely unique one of a kind hand dyed skeins of yarn.

If you would like to get your hands on one of these VERY exclusive skeins you can pledge on the Kickstarter campaign now - if you comment ‘make 100’ on this post I’ll message you over the link.

I LOVE going in to the new year with this project. It’s such a fun colourful way to get through these winter months!
