£120

This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.

This year the advent calendar is Unsurprising Advent where you get to see the included colours, no surprises here this year.

UK shipping only, shipping week of 23rd November to arrive in time for December 1st. 10% of sales will be donated to Tommy’s to support people going through miscarriage and baby loss.

24 mini skeins of hand-dyed wool (and some extra treats) with bespoke advent box. Fantastic for all kinds of projects, the only limit is your imagination. People have made blankets, socks, sweaters, and even a dress. This year is a fade by popular demand, so the colours will flow into one another.

How much yarn?
For all 24 minis the total yardage for each base is approximately as follows:

BFL Sock 85m/92yds per 20g mini, with a total of 2040m/2230yds
BFL DK 45m/49yds per 20g mini, with a total of 1032m/1128yds

What is a “mini skein”
Essentially a miniature ball of wool, presented in a twisted shape, loved by knitters and crocheters alike, for their variety of uses in crafting projects.

Need some inspiration? We put together some project ideas with what to make with mini skeins.

Given the nature of hand-dyed yarns, each skein is unique and there will be subtle variations between individual skeins. We recommend buying all yarn needed for your project at the same time for the closest match. We are normally happy to accept custom orders if we don't have enough in stock for your planned project.

Needle and Fred yarns are lovingly hand-dyed in Manchester. We are a cat-friendly company 😺 (in case you couldn't tell from our logo) but rest assured cats are not allowed bat, paw, or otherwise play with yarns. However, if you have any serious allergies, please factor this into your purchase. Our studio is in our home and we cannot guarantee it.

All mailed on tracked services with Royal Mail for peace of mind, regardless of location.
