Showing countdown calendars

The Victorian Ghosts Halloween Countdown⁠ from Ex Libris Fibers collects 13 underrated ghost stories from the Victorian era in a historic mystery palette. Base options are Superwash yak sock or Superwash Merino/nylon sock.

This yarn and reading experience includes 12 individually-wrapped mini skeins and one full skein, each paired with a recommended Victorian ghost story, all to count down the most haunted 13 days leading up to October 31 with stitching and stories. ⁠Preorders are open through June 17!

Every day in October, give yourself a present with a skein of hand-dyed yarn! This year’s colorways are an all-tonal fade inspired by the colors of the classic TV show Twin Peaks. You can choose from our Merino Sock or Strong DK bases, whether you want mini, half, or full skeins of yarn for each day, and whether you want our swanky notions add-on. Then on Halloween, open up a full-skein contrast color to celebrate our favorite holiday of the year! You can also order the advent on our non-Superwash Shaniko spinning fiber base.

Our add-on notions package includes a project bag from Stash Stash, stitch markers from Twin Mountain Handcrafts, a progress keeper from Tinker’s Hollow, wool wash from our own new Cesium Yarn line, and a sticker exclusive to the box.

Choose your very own yarn-y holiday village set! Unwrap a unique, new 20g mini skein with a hand-crafted progress keeper by SamsTinyTrinkets every day for the week of the Winter Solstice (starting December 19th) and onto Christmas Day. On Christmas Day, unwrap an extra special gift set including an exclusive Woolen Women Fibers colorway (100g skein in your choice of base), handcrafted fiber art jewelry by SamsTinyTrinkets with an option to add on a maker’s market basket (a fair trade woven basket).

Your countdown will come wrapped individually for each of the seven days. The extra special Christmas Day colorway, handcrafted trinkets and bag will be separately packaged for the big day!

You can expect a variety of colorways and trinkets inspired by each of the themes A Nutcraker Village or Dickens Holiday Village.

You can expect a mix of tonal, speckled and variegated yarns. Charms will have some village house pieces as well as things that pertain to what happens in the little villages.

I’m so excited to announce the December solstice theme this year is nudibranches!

The most adorable and delightfully colour-hungry little sea slugs are getting a starring role! I don’t know about you, but with the way 2024 has been going, I figure we’re overdue for some happy and some colour. And wow do these little guys deliver!

I’m so excited to explore these gorgeous little creatures, and to lean into the vibrant brights, to present them in a way that is happy and filled with infectious joy, and still imminently wearable for you! As always, the colourways will tell a carefully curated story, and be ideal for knitting as a fade straight out of the box. Or you can swap up the order to create some fabulous stripe and colourwork options!

The solstice calendar will include:
~ 20x 20g mini skeins. They are designed to work together as a beautiful colour story, either in the order intended as a fade, or alternated to create gorgeous stripes.
~ 1x 100g skein, that coordinates with the minis and makes the whole collection sing!
~ A handmade linen project bag – strictly exclusive to this solstice calendar
~ A couple of quality surprises scattered throughout

(The images here are merely to give you an idea of some of my inspiration… you’ll have to order the calendar to see what’s included this year!!)

The full-sized skein will coordinate with the minis, and be in the same base yarn.

All yarn is carefully and lovingly hand dyed by Jo in her solar-powered studio in small-town Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Each skein will come individually wrapped and numbered so you can play along and open a mini skein each day until the full-sized skein to celebrate the Solstice on the 21st…or you can open them all at once, or whenever and in whatever order you like — it’s your calendar and you’re the boss!!

Preorders for the solstice are open and will stay open until sold out. Numbers are strictly limited.
Who’s keen for me to send you nudis?!?

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.
