Over on Third Vault Yarns socials and in our newsletter, we’ve been having some Advent/ countdown fun. Instead of an hand-dyed Advent, we’ve got an Advent of deals, giveaways and fun for you!

Currently available are the absolute steal of deal £12 Mystery Hat skeins. By offering hat skeins, we’re just making a nod to a quicker knit and last-minute gifts with DK weight, worsted weight and Aran on offer, that and you can choose to add a pom pom to!

RiverRat Yarn

My name is Stacey Rivera; owner, indie dyer, spinner and weaver behind RiverRat Yarn!

I have always loved painting with watercolor, acrylic, oil, any medium I could get my hands on! Married to my high school sweetheart and best friend, an infantry Marine for over 30 years, I’ve had many careers over the years of changes in duty stations, but my true passion has always been my family and my art.

My great grandmother taught me to knit when I was very young. Creating with color, molding fiber into fabric became a great passion of mine. It was only natural and fluid to combine all of my passions together. So when my husband was getting ready to retire after 30 years, I took his call sign “RiverRat” and turned it into our next chapter: RiverRatArts & RiverRatYarn.

Moving to rural PA, we bought our very first home. The vibrant colors of the seasons of beautiful Pennsylvania never leave me lacking inspiration.

I hope the passion and love I have for what I do is infused into my work and enables everyone to find something they love. You can always find my work on my website RiverRatYarn.com or on Instagram @RiverRatArts

We are really excited about our new colorways and hope you are too! Visit our website to see them and all the other new and exciting things we have in store!

A Season of Surprises: The 2025 Midnight Skein Society Calendar

November 6, 2025

Tags

There’s a special sort of anticipation that comes with the turning of the year. There’s the quiet thrill of unwrapping a secret, the promise of color waiting just beneath the paper.
This December, Which Way Crafts invites you to join us for a month-long fiber adventure with our 2025 Midnight Skein Society Calendar.

Each box is a story in itself:
Ten hand-dyed mini skeins and one full-sized skein
Two sets of artisan stitch markers
Curated seasonal teas
A digital daily postcard featuring a companion tale and color inspiration
A community knit-along and blog beginning December 1st

Rather than revealing the contents, we’re keeping the mystery intact. Every parcel is meant to be discovered day by day, much like the unfolding chapters of a favorite novel.

The design draws from the explorer aesthetic that defines the Midnight Skein Society: think vintage trunks, candlelight, and the scent of wool mingling with distant adventure.

Special Offer: Save 10% with code MYSTERY10 till November 23rd.

This is not tied to any single tradition or holiday. It’s a celebration of creativity, curiosity, and the small rituals that bring warmth to the waning year. Whether you knit, crochet, or simply collect treasures, each day’s reveal is a pause, a moment to make something beautiful.

The Zodiac Scarf Knit-Along Advent with Wooly Owl Fibers

Each preorder includes 24 hand-dyed mini skeins, inspired by the colors and moods of the zodiac. Starting January 1st, 2026, you’ll open a new package at the beginning of each month. Inside, you’ll find two mini skeins representing that month’s zodiac sign.

This is a slow project meant to unfold over the year, something you can pick up a little at a time and enjoy watching grow. Each month brings a new color inspired by the zodiac, building toward a stunning, celestial-inspired scarf. By December, you’ll open your final skeins and have a piece that reflects the magic of all 12 signs.

Whether you knit or crochet, this project is meant to bring calm, connection, and color to your year.
