This is the thread for the Midwinter yarn advent by Moonrise Yarn Co: https://moonriseyarnco.com/
The theme for this time is 'Metal' 🖤
I couldn't resist and opened the bonus gifts yesterday!
They include a screen printed patch, some metallic tape, some stitch makers with pyrite beads and one skull bead, and a black cotton zip pouch with very cool metallic lining.

A deliciously moody and mossy olive - probably my fave so far, but then I am a big fan of greens 💚

Not so much of a blue grey as the photo suggests, but nonetheless lovely

#YarnAdvent Day 17: Circle Pit
Another day, another skein my phone refuses to photograph accurately 🤦♂️
This is rather warmer in tone than the photo... Soft red and mushroom, rather than grey...

#YarnAdvent Day 20 - the final mini-skein is, appropriately, Everything Black, and exactly as advertised!
Tomorrow is the big skein and then we're done... Happy almost-Solstice!
Sheepnik@sheepnik That's what it says!
Though I've never seen a goat this colour (perhaps fortunately!)

@curiousjay I'm good at reading 😅 It's a great name for a colourway though.
I dd wonder if the colour was inspired by the end product of goats...
Y Gath Goch@sheepnik @curiousjay i was looking for a gif of little Ivy from Christchurch, but you'll just have to pretend I've found it "It's a fucken goat!"
@YGathGoch @curiousjay I love that clip.
@YGathGoch @sheepnik I can run that one in my head with that useful prompt! 😂
@sheepnik I hope not... 😬
Hopefully there'll be an explanation somewhere along the way.
(The theme was metal - including the rock and roll sort... So maybe sulphur for Baphomet or something?!? )
