The 2025 Festive Folktale Fiber Advent Calendar Pre-Order is here!! This is the fiber version of my Festive Folktale Mini Skein Calendar for spinners and felters.
(IMPORTANT: These will ship out to be received by mid-November 2025)
An exciting change is in store for this year! Although the festive recipes theme for the last 4 years was a huge hit and so much fun to create, I thought it would be fun to change it up.
This past year, I have had the opportunity to travel a bit and I have been very much inspired by the colorful world of Folklore and Folktales. Our colors this year will draw inspiration from these tales from around the world. As we open each daily fiber and create together, we will learn a little about the characters and tales-of-old, imbuing our creations with this rich storytelling history. In place of a "menu" of recipes (as in my past calendars), you will receive a "table of contents", with links to the stories, characters or art inspiration for each day's colorway. Starting December 1st, 2025, there will be a special accompanying Festive Folktale page on my website for you as well, revealing each days colorway and accompanying inspirations. We will spin, felt, create (or just stash) together all month long (and beyond) into the new year. And we will chat about it all on Instagram!
These fiber sets are a very limited edition, so order now to be sure to get one. I don't want anyone to be disappointed! This is also the lowest price they will be (prices could go up with the later orders as Merino wool wholesale prices seem to be always rising!) I am taking pre-orders now so I have plenty of time to secure the fiber and work on dyeing these in batches. The advents take so much time to complete - they are truly a labor of love! I really want to spread out the process over the year, so I can work on them throughout and make this the best year yet!
Each day of December through Christmas, you will get to open a surprise 1 ounce packet of beautifully hand dyed extra fine Merino Wool Roving. This set includes 25 colorways in total - so you will have one on each day through xmas - along with some other fun holiday or fiber related goodies added in here and there! Each day's gift is individually wrapped - what could be more fun for a spinner or fiber crafter?!
When you order early, you have your choice of some fun optional add-ons!
Add-Ons: You have the option to add some (or all!) fun bonuses to your calendar. These are all designed to go with the Festive Folktale theme and will be extra fun special surprises!

The 2025 collection will be a surprise - however, you can check out the mood board as a little hint for my general color direction! This collection will be a beautiful flow and fade of color consisting of speckles and semi-solids which can be combined as they are unwrapped or used in a modular project or in so many other ways. You will also see how the colors flow and relate to our Folktale theme. I have also included images below from my past calendars.

My advent calendar is inspired by my participation for the past 8 years in the wildly popular FESTIVE Knit-Along on Ravelry by Ambah O'Brien. Each year, she creates new patterns for a beautiful project that uses 24-25 Mini Skeins with an optional full skein. Each new yarn is opened in the morning and a few rows are knit using the yarn of the day. There is a fun (and huge) social group for sharing on Ravelry - it is so much fun. Also there are lots of prizes to win!
Feel free to send any questions my way!
