We are celebrating 2022 with two themed mini skein advent calendar offerings. This particular listing is for a

- VELVETEEN RABBIT -

On the 100th anniversary of this wonderful Christmas tale we couldn’t help but celebrate the story with a collection of deep, rich hues. This advent calendar will feature lots of decadent tonals in a array of jewel tones, an homage to the nostalgia of quieter times and years gone by. As makers, this story holds special meaning. Often when we are creating something, it is intended for a special loved one - and there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing handmade goods used and well worn and fiercely loved.

While the colourways do not create a fade so to speak, multiple could be used in a variety of projects as the colours will be complimentary.

Each mini skein of yarn comes individually wrapped and numbered, but you can also be a rule breaker and open them however you like! All items are nestled in a box that is ready for gifting. 

The 10 x 10 gram Micro skein set comes packaged in a cello bag with info card and is gift wrapped.
