What You Need to Know Before Buying a Yarn Advent Calendar

Advent calendars are a great way to build excitement and anticipation for the holiday season. They also make it easy for us to count down the days. If you have kids, they will love helping you open each day’s yarn package I’m sure.

In this article, I will be discussing what you need to know before buying a yarn advent calendar for your home or as a gift.

Here is what you should keep in mind when deciding which type of calendar to buy:

  • How much yarn do you want for each mini? eg: 10gms or 20grms
  • Do you want a full-size skein of yarn as well?
  • Do you want a project bag or extras in with each day’s yarn surprise?

Advent calendars have been around for a lot of years, and lately, it seems as if yarn advent calendars have been taking over.

Advent Calendars on offer by Indie Yarn Dyers

Many Indie Dyers are offering yarn advent calendars and some even put the call out to purchase them six months in advance. If you don’t act quickly, once you see it advertised, you might miss out. Don’t worry, there are plenty of other yarn advent calendars to choose from as well.

Yarn advent calendars can come in a variety of shapes and forms. Some will come in individually small wrapped bags that are numbered 1- 25. Some companies offer a full-sized skein of yarn for the last day to open.

A number of companies will put them in a box that has a window for each day and you just open it up and your yarn is inside. A novelty way to display and very reminiscent of the olden day advent calendars.

Additions to your calendars can be small notions, such as stitch markers, pins, chocolates and hand cremes. 

If you have a favourite Indie Dyer, check out their website for details about what type of yarn advent calendars or another good place to start is over at Etsy. This is where I normally search for mine.
