Unravel the Magic of Christmas, one skein at a time!

Welcome to a holiday crafting journey inspired by the heartwarming cheer and mischievous adventures of everyone’s favorite elf, Buddy! Our Yarn Advent Calendar is more than just a collection of yarn; it’s your ticket to a December filled with delightful surprises, cozy evenings, and the spirit of Christmas woven into every stitch.

Enjoy 25 magical colorways where each day reveals a new skein, dyed in exclusive shades inspired by the iconic moments, beloved characters, and unforgettable quotes from the movie Elf. From the sparkling lights of the Empire State Building to the soft whispers of snowfall in Central Park, each color tells a story.

As always, we are offering a variety of options to fit a variety of budgets.

What is a reusable fabric calendar?

This is what our Advents are famous for! Basically, it’s the wrapping for the mini skeins. It’s handmade. There a picture on the listing of last year’s. We are trying to be eco friendly by giving you a 100% cotton fabric reusable calendar with pockets! Handmade numbers let you know which pocket to open on which day.

Enjoy advent knitting and the Christmas season with our beautifully handmade, 100% cotton Advent Calendar. The fabric calendars, made by Dave, have little pockets individually numbered to let you know which mini skein to open each day. It’s not just the home for the delightful little mini skeins, it’s part of the entire experience!

Reuse the fabric calendar next year and fill it with sweets or surprises making every Christmas a shared adventure in anticipation and joy. Imagine refilling it with treats for your kids, creating a countdown filled with joy, or exchanging it with your spouse to discover new goodies each day.

_______________________________

🎄As always, we thank you for your love of Southern Skeins and we cannot wait to share this advent with you!

🎄No cancelations or refunds allowed on these preorders.

🎄Payment plans are available in checkout.

🎄Pictures of Advent calendars displayed are previous year’s calendars to give a representation of what this year’s may look like.

🎄 Monitor setting may change the way the colors appear on my screen vs. yours.

I wanted to let you know that this year’s Advent is available for preorder NOW, as well as show you my finished 2023 Advent project that I finished just in time for the launch!

If you’re new to my shop, my Advent Calendar serves as the perfect canvas for me to get truly creative with new color combos and layering techniques that create a cohesive palette.

I will, of course, be creating 24 completely one-of-a-kind colorways that will be fading in the most beautiful way, and one full skein that coordinates with the entire fade! They will not be traditional Christmas colors, although they will be individually named after fun, cozy, and Christmas-y things!

Here’s a rundown of what you’ll receive in this year’s Advent calendar:
– 24 OOAK 20-gram minis, all intentionally dyed with holiday inspiration, even though the color palette will not be strictly “Christmas colors”
– 1 100-gram skein to coordinate with the entire fade
– A custom scent, just for this box, of hand balm by Tuft Woolens
– A NEW countdown box with 25 fun doors and pockets!
– ALL colorways will be individually named after something special and very close to my heart, pertaining to the holiday season.

Featured here, in these photos, is last year’s Advent that I knit up in my current favorite Advent pattern: The Anthology Throw!

I cannot believe that half of these sold in just over a day, and less than a third are left! Thank you SO much for choosing to use my art to make your own!

Our Holiday Gift to You: A Countdown to Christmas Advent Calendar of Fabulous and Free Knitting Patterns

It snowed here in Pittsburgh the other day — big fat flakes that swirled around in the air as if they had all the time in the world and weren’t sure if they wanted to land — and in that moment, it felt like we had suddenly plunged into Officially Winter.

And I’m so glad. It’s time for the holidays, for heavier yarns, and for cosy nights with my knitting and steaming cup of tea. You too?

So I’ve made you a little something to celebrate the season: a digital Advent calendar counting down from the 1st of December until Christmas, with a link each day to a beautiful, free knitting pattern to inspire your end of the year (or beginning of next year) projects.

Some of the patterns are simple, some are complicated, some you might know, and some you might not, but together they make for a delightfully knitworthy way to mark the next 25 days. And so this calendar is our gift to you, from the all of us on the SpaceCadet Crew.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! We are celebrating our Eight Nights of Hanukkah box with live openings on our YouTube channel at 9:30 a.m. We started this past Thursday and will continue throughout the eight days. This box has been amazing so far. We can’t wait to see them all! Be sure to scan the QR Code included for exclusive added content that builds each day.

We are also celebrating the announcement of our 2024 Eight Nights of Hanukkah box: A Tropical Hanukkah. We can’t wait to see this exciting representation of the Festival of Lights! We are happy to offer Early Bird Pricing during this year’s celebration. These boxes will not be offered again until our July holiday celebration and they they will be at regular price. Order now for a 2024 tropical treat!

If you haven’t heard of our exquisite subscription boxes, or if you’ve always wanted to join one, especially if you are a yarn and book lover, welcome to the Spin Me a Yarn Literary Society! We’ve combined the best elements of a yarn club and a book club in this quarterly subscription, and we think you’re going to love it.

A fabulous restock of these beauties, Mocha, Clarity, and Potions on Woolf, from our Gilded Ewe collection — 70% grey alpaca, 20% silk, plus 10% Cashmere. It’s lustrous and soft and you deserve it. Also restocked is Bronte, our Suri alpaca/silk base, in Mocha, a rich milk chocolate, that adds warmth and softness beyond compare. Bronte is a worthy substitute for mohair blends in your projects as it offers that same halo and softness but isn’t as “sticky,” making it a breeze if you have to undo something. This is the yarn you treat yourself with.

Great fun and perfect for gift giving: Knitting Disney by Tanis Gray! This beautiful pattern book by the author of some of the best fandom knitting books — you may know her from her Harry Potter and Star Wars books, brings us 28 of the happiest patterns on earth.

2024 Surprise Box Launch!

Isn’t it funny how something can begin as a seed of an idea and then can grow into something that becomes an intergal part of your life?

Last year, I turned to my husband and said, “You know that Mother’s Day box we did this year? I’d like to do MORE of those!”

It was just three boxes out of a whole year. We’d already done one, I thought for sure it’d be easy to just add two more…

Little did I know that those three boxes would become so central to my entire year.
They were the receptacle of all of my creative juices — every whim and desire.
They fed my soul to bursting as I planned every little thing, made dream boards, and currated until everything was a perfectly packaged gift.
They were the source of sleepless nights and aching muscles as we moved hundreds of boxes around our studio.
And they were the straw that broke the camel’s back and let us know that we DEFINITELY needed a bigger space.

But best of all, they created something that I never could have predicted.
A community of wonderful friends.

I am grateful for that most of all.

Thank you my dear friends for giving me such a beautiful year.
It was a gift.
For me as much as for you.

And I can’t wait to do it all again next year!!

I’m delighted to announce that Early Bird enrollment is now open for our 2024 Surprise Box Club!
