A&P Advent 2023
This winter we’re planning on curling up on our sofas and settling down to some serious knitting. The very lovely Jo Elizabeth May, a patient saint and puppeteer extraordinaire has, painted us the perfect scene from our rather vague description and some photos of Nicola under her quilt with granny’s rather grumpy teddy.
The Advent has the choice of two yarn bases, either our Classic Sock, marvellous for all sorts of knitting or crochet, or our luxurious Merino & Silk Single for some very indulgent winter projects.
The 24 colours will be inspired by the painting and be a mix of semi-solid, variegated and speckles in earthy shades of terracotta, moss and damson.
Open one each day in the run up to Christmas or save them up and splurge to cheer up the wintery days of the New Year.
You will receive
24 x 20g on your chosen base with the option to add a 100g skein in the same base.
Each skein will be individually wrapped and numbered.
Plus a few extra surprises.
Postage: This is a pre-order. International orders will be posted tracked and or signed for (depending on country) in October. UK orders will be posted tracked and signed for in early November. Please don’t order anything else with the advent as they will all be posted together.
Bases available:
Classic Sock: 100g/365m, 80% superwash merino and 20% nylon.
Washing – Machine washable on a gentle wool cycle using a mild detergent or hand wash.
Merino & Silk Single – 100g./400 m., 70% Superwash Merino, 30% Silk
Washing – Hand wash only using a gentle detergent.
