Talking about beautiful hand-dyed yarn... Throwback to that time where I thought it was a good idea to crochet a mosaic blanket with sockweight mini-skeins... :D Well, it did turn out beautiful! That was also the time I learned I have a luxury cat, because Lewis will go bonkers over Merino Wool. (see picture three...) Yes, it's his blanket now...

Pattern: Mosaic Addiction Blanket by Melanie Payne
Yarn: About 6 months worth of Vicki Brown Designs Mini Skein Club Ombre and some undyed sock yarn

So many miniskeins in some of my most popular colourways. These are perfect for colours you love but don’t need a whole skein of, for mixing and matching, or for creating your own yarnvent calendar.

Pre-made Advent Calendars are also available for immediate dispatch whilst stocks last. Please buy before 15th November if you’d like arrival guaranteed for 1st December. It gives me 24h to dispatch, and the Royal Mail two weeks to deliver.

Twelve Days of Christmas! Two options for 4ply/sock miniskein gift sets: 10g and 20g. Both create a bright beautiful rainbow and have a mix of speckled and variegated colourways.

As a special for this year only I have trialled a DK option. It’s all-speckled and is presented in rainbow order.

Advent Calendar teaser: this photo has been through six filters so whatever you think you can tell about the colours (apart from their being many and beautiful) is incorrect. You can still sign up for first refusal via last year’s listing. Now that everything is dyed, it should take about three weeks to do all the real work required to produce the finished product. #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet #yarnvent #yarnventcalendar #miniskeins

Forget-Me-Not mini skeins, inspired by particularly blue flowers. They can actually vary from almost pink to surprisingly blue, and from very light delicate colours to those with remarkable intensity. Sometimes one flower can suggest many yarny possibilities.

Progress on the Twelve Days of Christmas mini skein sets. I have used larger, printed labels on the tags this year to help folk who might find my writing difficult to read. I’m trying to balance the hand-made aesthetic with accessibility. What do you think?

Look, it may look like some of those mini skeins are really tangled, but you have to understand that my kid needed to build a replica of the islands from Bowser's Fury in the sink and sometimes a mess must be made in the name of art.
