Description: 24 10g sock yarn "eggs" in a mix of colorways and one 20g holiday (red and green) sock yarn "egg" (260g total) in a small, canvas drawstring bag with image of a sheep in a Santa's hat. Each egg consists of superwash sock yarn (75-80% wool/20-25% nylon). The 10g eggs are primarily self-striping and variegated yarn, although some solid colors may be included. This is a bit of a scrappy, DIY advent "calendar" that avoids the potential waste from single-use fancy packaging. Plus, we all really just want the good stuff: the yarn. If you would like a surprise each day, please cover your eyes as you pluck an egg from the canvas bag (conveniently reusable as a small project bag). I do genuinely love holiday sock yarn (red, green and white) and I was tickled by the image of sheep in a Santa's hat, so I hope this little mix of sock yarn will inspire the joy of the holiday season. This mini sock yarn advent calendar is the best value you will find, so why not pick up one for yourself and one to give as a gift? I ?? sock yarn! After more than 10 years of knitting, I've managed to amass a stash many times beyond my life expectancy so I decided to break up my "collection" (from a smoke-free/pet-free home) into 10g center-pull "eggs." These eggs can be used for a variety of projects, such as "scrappy" socks, hats, gloves, blankets and sweaters - anything that needs a pop of color. Brands include (but are not guaranteed): Opal, Lana Grossa (Die Landlust, Meilenweit), KnitPicks (Hawthorne, Felicini, Static, Stroll), Pro Lana (Fjord), Lang Yarns, SuperGarn Aktiv, West Yorkshire Spinners, ONline, Stylecraft, Berroco (Comfort), Hobbii, Cascade, Biscotte Yarns, Garnstudio DROPS Fabel, Wisdom Yarns Pix, Schoeller + Stahl, Brediculous, Hedgehog Fibres... Who would like this: adventurous sorts who do not need to know the exact colors in each egg in advance - like eating a box of chocolates without the guide; and anyone who likes the look of "scrappy" projects - such as mitered square blankets and socks - but does not want to have a massive stash on hand Who would not like this: planners who need to know the exact colors in each egg in advance (no disrespect, I completely understand this impulse, but it's best to know upfront that this may not be something you would enjoy!) YMMV, but for context, I'm making a mitered square blanket on US size 4 needles, CO 60 stitches and I use approximately 6.5g per square. Since it's a mishmash of color, I have no trouble combining the leftover yarn to make additional squares.
