Yarn advent calendar 2020

Yarn advent calendars have definitely become more of a thing over the last few years, and this year, in part due to limitation of supply on some wool bases, many UK dyers have already sold out.

So if you missed out, or if you have more mini-skeins than you’d like to admit already in your stash, why not join me in a make-your-own yarn advent calendar!

We’ve had a family fabric advent calendar purchased from a German Christmas Market that I’ve been filling with chocolate and coins for many years, but I couldn’t deprive the family by filling it with yarn this year, so instead I bought a refillable cardboard advent calendar from HobbyCraft.

Some of these mini skeins still had yarn club labels from 2010 and 2012, so its about time they saw the light of day.  And the knitted mitred square blanket they were originally intended for remains unfinished.  So let’s see if the advent approach helps me to complete my longest serving WIP.
