Treat yourself (or someome special) to a daily dose of mini-skeins this December:
24 botanical dyed 0.7oz mini-skeins – wrapped individually in numbered bags. Plus additional gifts on each advent Sunday & Christmas Eve!
This is a traditional German treat to shorten the time in December until the holidays. The Alte Künste – Ancient Arts advent calendar is non-denominational. The available number of calenders is limited and is available via pre-order only from 19 August to 31 October 2020. Shipping will be mid-November so that your advent calendar will reach you in time for December.
Contents of the Alte Künste – Advent Calendar 2020:
> 16.8oz g (24 x 0.7oz) botanical dyed Bluefaced Leicester High Twist mini-skeins, fingering weight & superwash (80% virgin wool, 20% polyamid, 79.8yd/0.7oz)
> 5 stitch markers by Atelier Marie-Lucienne
> 1 exclusive knittingpattern set by Stefanie Bold Design
> all wrapped individually in 24 numbered bags. This is a re-usable wrapping set that you can use in the future to fill with your own ideas of an advent-calendar.
BFL High Twist mini-skeins are great for colour-work, fair-isle, jumpers, socks as well as scarfs and mittens.
As with all botanical dyed yarn all colours match with each other, so that you can use all 24 mini-skeins of the advent calendar in one project or you use them as highlights in other projects.
In total there will be 16.8oz of natural dyed BFL High Twist sockyarn in fingering weight in your Alte – Künste Advent Calendar 2020.
But that is not all:
Each Advent Sunday and Christmas Eve stitch markers by Atelier Marie-Lucienne will be included. We have settled for 5 themes on celtic traditions and country holidays: one for each advent sunday and an additional one on Christmas Eve.
The creative head of Atelier Marie-Lucienne is Marjan Hoebeke-Pfaff. I have met Marjan at the Forum Lanarum in 2016 and instantly was impressed by her unique take on all things around yarn. I have been in love with her creations ever since and I want to share this love with you in the Advent Calendar 2020.
Have a peak at her creations in her Etsy-Shop and find her as @ateliermarielucienne on Instagram.
Wait, there is even more:
This year the Alte Künste Advent Calendar includes a knitting pattern set for hat & mittens by Stefanie Bold Design (no fair isle or standed kntting!). This set of patterns was written specifically for the Alte Künste Advent Calendar 2020 and has not been published before. The pattern will be included as a printed brochure.
You can use some of the mini-skeins included in the advent calendar for this pattern or you keep the mini-skeins for other projects and use some of your stash for these knitting patterns.
Whatever you chose, we will be starting a KAL of the patterns in December!
With a university degree in engineering Stefanie Bold’s main focus in her patterns is on creating awesome effects with easy to knit patterns. Her patterns have been published among others in Knitty, Interweave, Knitscene and Stitchseekers.
