Advent Calendar 2022 Day 24

The final packet contains another pure white fibre and is called Not So Scrooge and is another fine soft fluffy one.  The fibre content is 25% each of Ultrafine Merino, Cashmere, Mulberry Silk and Rose Fibre.

 

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 23

Another Christmassy coloured fibre today, similar colours to the very first day but this one is different fibres and is called Candy Cane.  The fibre content is 50% Suri Alpaca, 25% Merino, 25% Mulberry Silk.  I might spin this one and Mistletoe & Wine together.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 22

I'm in love with today's fibre, its beautiful and called King Wenceslas and is a beautiful rich colour combination being made up of 75% Corriedale. 12.5% Red Eri Silk and 12.5 Tussah Silk.  Almost everyone in the chat group is going nuts over this one, we want more, we want more, we want more.😂

After Christmas, in the New Year, WoW made additional 100g braids of fibre of all of the Advent Calendar Fibres available to purchase to those who had purchased the Advent Calendar.  There were limited stocks of each one available, it was on a first-come-first served basis and there was a short time frame of priority before the remaining stock was made available to general purchase.  This was one of 7 fibres that I bought an extra 100g of.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 21

OMG it's another fawn coloured soft fluffy fibre and it's called Winter Knitter.  The fibre content is 50% Bluefaced Leicester, 25% Alpaca and 25% Muga Silk (geographically linked to Assam in India and previously reserved purely for use by Royalty).

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 20

This one reminds me of one of the fibres, Red Canary, I had from when I used to have the monthly subscription from another supplier that I have already spun.  It's called Selection Box and is a blend of 50% Shetland Wool, 25% Bamboo, 12.5% Sari Silk, 12.5% Flax and I think this one will be blended with other stuff to make a much bigger finished skein of yarn.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 19

OMG this is beautiful. Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city, ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day, city sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style, in the air there's a feeling of Christmas, children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile, and on every street corner you hear, silver bells, silver bells... If you haven't guessed by now, this one is called Silver Bells and is a blend of 50% Superwash Merino, 25% Stellina, 25% Tweed wool.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 18

Another white one today, soft and fluffy.  Its called All the Trimmings, and they're not joking, 50g and 8 different fibres but they've not given out the percentages on this one.  It's made up of Huacaya Alpaca, Bluefaced Leicester, Hill Radnor, Merino, Mint, Pineapple, Polwarth and Tencel.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 17

"Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie....", no that's not it "star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright..." no, that's not it either.  This one is called Star of Bethlehem and is 50% Polwarth, 25% Camel, 25% Soybean and is really soft and fluffy and I love it.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 16

This one is the most Christmassy coloured one we've had for a while and is definitely heading for my "ingredients cupboard" because its 100% Bamboo and called Garland.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 15

Ooh, another white one.  This one is called Fa La La La Llama and it contains 25% each of Llama, Rambouillet (similar to Merino), Lotus Fibre and Rose Fibre.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 14

Wow, this one is proper proper pure brilliant white.  This one has given me a hard time trying to photograph it and its a fibre that will most likely go into my "ingredients cupboard".  It is called Faux, Faux, Faux and is 50% Faux Cashmere (made from nylon), 50% Bio-nylon so you could technically say that this is 100% nylon.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 13

When I opened the packet I thought I was having deja-vu, its's very similar to Day 10 in terms of the colour.  This is Walking in the Air and it's 80% Superfine Merino, 20% Tussah Silk.  I may spin Day 10 and Day 13 together into one yarn.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 12

Oh, this one has made me a little sad because obviously the name of it was decided sometime ago so that the scratch cards could be printed and the boxes made up and we have since lost our great treasure Queen Elizabeth II.  This one is called Queen's Speech and what a luxury this one is at 40% Superfine Merino, 40% Mulberry Silk and 20% Cashmere.

I thought about buying more of this one but decided that I was too scared of it, it's so fine I might turn it to felt if I breathe on it.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 11

Hmmm, unusual and pretty in it's own right.  Say hello to Santa's Socks, a blend of 80% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester and 20% Tweed Wool.  Reminds me a little of one of the sock yarns I have used to make a shawl with, the shawl is still available to buy from my shop as I write this post.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 10

I opened the packet a little and peeped inside and was very happy with what I found. It's blue and white and super soft and fluffy.  This is Winter Lake, 60% Bamboo, 40% Merino.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 9

Ha ha ha ha ha OMG I can't believe what they've called this one, hilarious!  Let me introduce you to Reindeer Poop, a blend of 80% Zwartbles and 20% Stellina.  Well, of course Reindeer Poop would be slightly sparkly from eating the sparkly magical hay that Dudley Moore, aka Pip, fed them in Santa Claus the Movie.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 8

Urgh, this one is pretty ugly.  This one is definitely getting either blended or over-dyed.  It's called Baubles and is, urm, what colours are in this exactly?  I do have other fibre that is a blend of green and purple and that's not so bad, I think its the shades and tones of the green and purple that doesn't work for me in this one. It's 100% Merino anyway so that's OK.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 7

This one is sooooo soft and its white and its called Snowballs!  Made of 50% Tweed wool, 25% Kid Mohair and 25% Baby Alpaca.  I have no immediate plans for this, will have to see what else we're gonna get in the box and see what will work together.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 6

Oh, nice!  I immediately thought this was going to be called Lump of Coal or something like that but it's called Naughty List, but then if you're on the naughty list you're getting a lump of coal in your stocking!  50% Merino, 25% Flax and 25% Llama.  I love this one and its so unusual to see a proper proper black fibre blend.

Advent Calendar 2022 Day 5

This one is called Carrots, Milk & Mince Pies.  Ok, different, I don't see the mince pies though, where's the beige or brown bits?  It's 50% Superfine Merino, 25% Mulberry Silk and 25% Milk Fibre.
