Wolbeest Yarn Advent Calendar 2023

Welcome to the annual Wolbeest Yarn Advent Calendar!

What is a yarn calendar?

An advent calendar is a countdown calendar until christmas day, a fun way to spend the time before christmas by opening a package every day. There will be 12 oR 24 exclusively hand dyed mini-skeins, individually wrapped and numbered and on some days there's something extra like a stitch marker or some tea and a sweet.

There is a 12 days yarn advent and 24 days this year. The 12 days advent is inclusive a 100grs skein in the same quality yarn as the mini-skeins.

There are different themes/moodboards to choose from this year:

• Pinks and Reds!
• The Hobbit
• Alice Through The Looking Glass
• Pipi (Langkous/Longstocking)
• Birds
• Reptiles, Frogs, Insects
• Roald Dahl
• Anton Pieck
• Over the Top! (12 dagen)

What’s included?

There will be a new package (individually wrapped) to open every day of Advent, starting from December 1^st until Christmas Day. In this package will be a hand dyed mini skein (yarn of your choice) and on some days there will be an extra surprise!  

Each mini skein will be hand dyed in an exclusive colourway. You can expect solids, semi solids, variegated, ton-sur-ton or speckled skeins. The skeins will be dyed in a fade, so you can start knitting right away. The colours can be knitted in the order they are opened or you can mix them in different ways.

Large:

• 24 mini skeins (20gr.) individually wrapped and numbered;
• goodies;
• 2 knitting patterns, designed specially for this year’s Advent Calendar
• coffee, tea and sweets.

Medium:

• 12 x 50gr. skeins individually wrapped and numbered;
• goodies;
• a knitting pattern, designed specially for this year’s Advent Calendar
• coffee, tea and sweets.

Small:

• 12 mini skeins (20gr.) individually wrapped and numbered;
• goodies;
• a 100gr. skein
• a knitting pattern, designed specially for this year’s Advent Calendar
• coffee, tea and sweets.

You can choose different yarns:

All of them are very soft and can be worn on the skin.

• Wolbeest super sock (75% sw merino – 25% nylon); 20gr./85m. or 50gr./210m.
• Wolbeest super BFL sock (75% sw BFL – 25% nylon); 20gr./85m. 
• Wolbeest singles (100% sw merino); 20gr./73.2m.

There is an option to order extra 100gr skeins (at additional cost) in addition to the Advent calendar, so that you have enough yarn to use for a bigger project, such as a sweater, cardigan or a bigger shawl. This extra skein will be the same quality as the mini-skeins of your calendar. You can also order a mohair-silk skein, fun to knit together with the mini-skeins as it creates a lovely halo or you can use it to combine with the other yarn.

I have added the option 'Dyer's Choice' if you want to order an extra 100grs skein with your yarn advent and have trouble choosing. Lots of people find it hard to choose a colour for the extra skein to match with the mini's.

If you don’t want to order an extra skein, click ‘none’ in the dropdown list otherwise the programme won’t let you continue.

Payment and price:

There is a special price for everyone who orders a calendar before the 16 of April, a special early bird discount of 5%! You can use the code: EARLYBIRD2023 at the checkout.

Until what date can I order?

This advent is a pre-order and I will keep this open until the 15th of June 2023.

There is also a beautiful, Christmas themed projectbag that you can buy, big enough to keep all your mini-skeins nice and snug (or 2 sock knitting projects)! In addition to that, there also are some themed project bags to complement your yarn advent.
