Advent Calendars
The worlds first embroidery yarn advent calendar offering your favourite choice of thread from silk, wool and cotton,
is coming back for its 4th year!
Watch this space for our 2020 advent calendar coming soon...
Behind each door you will find a beautiful spool of thread just waiting for your next project to start.
We wanted to produce an advent calendar that not only had our beautiful threads inside, but we wanted our packaging to be made from sustainably sourced materials, be fully recyclable, Eco-friendly and made in the UK, completely reducing our carbon footprint on the planet. We are proud to announce that this years advent calendar ticks every single one of those boxes.
How it works:

If you have never used our silk threads before and would like to know in thickness how they compare to a DMC stranded cotton thread to help you select an advent calendar please use the list below for the closest silk thread comparison: This list is a guide only as obviously they are completely different fibres.
Please note: If you are ordering after the 20th of November from outside of the UK we cannot guarantee that your advent calendar will arrive before the 1st December - On the bright side, you get to play catch up and open more than one each day :)
