Contrasting yarn

The 2026 Advent Skein is a brand new colourway and only available for a limited time.
All Advent Skeins are dyed on my 80% superwash merino and 20% nylon sock base (fingering weight). The Advent Skein weighs approx. 120g and comes split into two even half-skeins. You will receive a total of 4 repeats of 24 stripes (48 in each half-skein).
To have a finished pair of socks by Christmas Day you may need to knit more than one stripe daily, this depends on your personal gauge and the size you will be knitting.

I highly recommend hand washing your knit items in cool or lukewarm water using a pH-neutral wool wash to keep them looking beautiful for as long as possible.
I use colourfast acid dyes for dyeing my yarn and rinse until the water runs clear. However, there is a chance that some dye may bleed slightly during the first few washes. For this reason, I suggest washing your items separately, especially during the first couple of washes.
If you have them available, it’s a good idea to use a "colour catcher" (similar to dryer sheets), which can be found in the laundry section of most stores. Some dyes, especially highly saturated colours like reds, blues, or speckled skeins, are more prone to bleeding. This is common for both hand-dyed and commercially dyed wool.
Important: Avoid washing your items in hot water, as this can break the bond between the fiber and the dye, potentially causing bleeding.
