✨The 2022 Festive Yarn Tasting Mini Skein Advent Calendar is here!!
The festive and colorful treats and drinks theme for the 2021 Calendar was such a hit and so much fun to create - so I have decided to do it again for 2022 - with all new inspiration recipes! Each day's colorway will be inspired by a fun recipe online. We can make, taste and collect the recipes while we knit together all month long (and beyond) into the new year. And we will chat about it all on Instagram and in Ambah O'Brien's Festive Knitalong on Ravelry!
These are limited edition!
Each day of December through Christmas, you will get to open a surprise mini skein of yarn. This set includes 25 minis in total -most include 24!- 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 knitter or fiber crafter?!
This year, again, when you order early, you have your choice of 5 base yarns and we also have some fun optional add-ons. (I have secured inventory on all 5 bases for now. In the past, I had to limit some of the bases for those who waited to order, due to inventory supply issues with the Pandemic - this could happen again).
Add-Ons: You have the option to add some (or all!) fun bonuses to your calendar. These are all designed to go with the delicious, festive theme and will be extra fun special surprises!
Basic Add-Ons:
- A coordinating Full Size Skein in selected yarn base
- A handmade 2022 Project Bag
Extra Fancy Add-Ons:
- A 2022 Pancake and Lulu collectable Pin
- A 5 oz scented Handmade natural wax Candle
- A delightful coordinating Stitch Marker Set
The 2022 collection will be a surprise - however, you can check out the mood board as a hint! I have also included photos from past calendars. The 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 many other ways.

My advent calendar is inspired by my participation for the past 5 years in the wildly popular ADVENT 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!
