A Dream at Christmas Yarn Advent

Limited pre-orders are open

Have you ever woken from a dream and carried a little piece of it with you into the day?

The sort of dream that leaves no story behind, only the feeling that you have brought something back with you.

Perhaps it was a colour you couldn’t quite name, a bit of morning light, or the feeling of somewhere familiar

This year’s yarn advent 

IS A DREAM

IN COLOUR

A Dream at Christmas is a naturally dyed collection of yarns inspired by watercolour paintings and the colours that linger after dreams — a shade you can’t quite name, a light through a window, or the feeling of somewhere almost remembered.

Garden flowers, soft summer light, loose washes of paint, blurred edges, and colours that gather unexpectedly on the page. These are the places this year’s palette began, before being translated into naturally dyed yarn.

Each piece in the box has been thoughtfully made in my studio, using natural dyes to capture the softness, warmth and quiet strangeness of the year.

A Dream at Christmas is a collection of naturally dyed yarns, inspired by watercolour paintings and the colours that seem to follow us out of sleep. Soft washes, garden colour and the essence of a dream have been slowly translated into yarn in my studio, creating a box that feels gentle and thoughtful.

Inside your keepsake box, you’ll find:

1 x 100g skein – Darwin 4ply

A full skein, naturally dyed. The yarn is named after the famous naturalist, Charles Darwin. A beautiful Falkland with Cheviot/Romney characteristics. Naturally grey, the dye adds a stunning hue to the yarn. Darwin is an excellent yarn with beautiful softness.

12 x 20g mini skeins – naturally dyed and numbered:

– 6 x Poldale 4ply: 100% Poldale – a beautiful, springy Falkland yarn with subtle stitch definition and excellent warmth.
– 6 x Darwin 4ply: 100% Falklands – a naturally grey yarn to add depth and warmth to your Advent.
Each mini is individually wrapped and numbered. You can choose to open them day by day, or all at once if you just can’t help yourself.

Printed Note Cards

A set of greeting cards created from the watercolour paintings behind this year’s Advent box. Painted in my studio and printed in the UK, ready to send as notes through the season, or kept as small art pieces.
