We're totally in love with the shawl that Susanne Sommers designed for our Advent Calendar 2024, so we've prepared yarn kits to knit it in case you missed the advent bundle.
The kit is made of 13 mini skeins of A Chic Blend and 3 full skeins of A Stormy Blend fingering. Among the mini skeins you will find some brand new shades we created exclusively for this Advent inspired by the mood along with other shades that are part of the palette
Here you have the color reference as it's used in the pattern, following the order used to knit the sample.
You may of course change this, but bear in mind that brioche sections knitted in 2 colors are meant to yield a nice contrast.

We recommend that all yarn is washed by hand. This ensures it’ll be beautiful for as long as possible and will wear well. When you’ve finished your project, dunk it in a sink of lukewarm water – with a no rinse wool wash if that takes your fancy, leave it to saturate for a while, then roll it up in a towel to squeeze out excess water and pin out flat to dry.
As with all textiles and all yarn, sometimes colour can come out. It can be caused by a difference in the water ph used to wash the item, detergents, or an over-saturation of dye that hasn’t quite finished rinsing out.
All of our hand dyed yarn is rinsed by hand in the sink, and each batch is soaked, then individual skeins are rinsed to make sure no colour bleeds. This isn’t foolproof though, and occasionally skeins in darker colours can bleed a little. In case it happens simply put your yarn or finished item in a pan (that you won’t use for food), add water and a generous glug or vinegar or citric acid, and then slowly bring up to heat. It should be simmering but not boiling. Then turn the heat off, put a lid on the pan, and leave it – ideally overnight. You should find that the water is now clear, and all that remains is to rinse your yarn. If the water isn’t quite clear, rinse it anyway – much like with hair dye, there can be excess dye which needs to run off.
