24 day Yarn Advent Calendar Dragons Trove
PLEASE READ...
The Dragon's Trove advent calendar is designed to fulfil your yarny wishes. Each little parcel contains yarny goodness for you to open each day during advent.
24 x 10g or 20g mini's, individually wrapped and numbered so that you can open them on each of the days of advent. All yarn colourways will be new and inspired by the colour palette in the image (circles). Please note that only Stellina and Merino bases are available in 10g minis.
You also have the option of adding a 100g skein to your order to open on Christmas day. This will be different from the yarn that is part of the weekly advent. It will co-ordinate with the advent colours, but you will not need it to complete the pattern included in this kit.
Colourways will be mid tones and pale colours in a gradient (see inspiration colours in image) and designed especially for the advent and work well with the included shawl pattern. Colours will not be based on Christmas.
You will also receive little craft theme extras in some of the parcels. They will be wrapped up with the minis. Things like stitch markers and other knitting and crochet accessories. You will also receive a Tote bag (Non-handmade) to store all your minis in. It will be printed with an exclusive design for the advent. One of the packages will include a sewing kit to make a little felt ornament, a video tutorial will also be uploaded to YouTube on the opening day to go along with the kit, so it is ideal for beginners.
You will also receive an electronic copy of my new knitted shawl pattern AND a crochet shawl pattern designed by my lovely friend Sam Rayner! You will receive them via email (PDF format). You will need at least 240g of yarn,12 x 20g or 24 x 10g 4ply minis or 24 x 20g DK minis. Alternatively you can choose to have one of the previous years advent knitting patterns, the Frost Cowl, Strobilus shawl, Nest box shawl/Popstars blanket, Cupid's arrow advent wrap, Soundwave Cowl or Triangulum blanket. For the cupids arrow wrap, Nest box shawl and the soundwave cowl you need at least 12 x 20g or 24 x 10g minis. For the Triangulum blanket pattern, there are no specific guidelines as you can make it as large you you like.
