This listing is for the 24-Stripe Advent Skein only. If you would like to add a contrasting skein of undyed yarn you have the option between adding a 30g mini-skein or a 100g skein.
Order Splitting:
Please note, as Advent Skeins are a pre-order item shipping cannot be combined with other items. If you purchase any of our regular colourways at the same time as your Advent items the order will automatically be split in two and shipping will be charged for both orders.

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.
