A warm welcome to Beehive Yarn's Advent Calendar for 2025, 'La Vie En Rose'.
Meaning literally, ' life in pink', to me it is about appreciating the beauty in life and happiness in full bloom. Our advent colourways will be inspired by roses and rose gardens, by sparkly summer days and by soft, velvety blooms.
There will be a mix of speckled, variegated and tonal shades that combine to form a harmonious 'posy' of floral shades. This will not be a fade but a palette of colours that work beautifully together.
Please see the pictures included on this post for our colourway inspiration.
Your Advent includes:
- 24 x 20g individually wrapped mini skeins
- One or two small extras that complement the theme
- Optional sock set for Christmas Day
There is the option to add a sock set to open on 25th (or when you like!). The main 100g skein will be variegated/speckled and the mini skein is tonal. Both will go with our advent theme.
Sock sets are inspired by the painting 'The Soul of the Rose' by John William Waterhouse and will be dyed on the same base as your mini skeins (If you would like a different base, please order the sock set separately here).
You can choose from 3 yarn bases:
- Audrey with a Twist Sock (4ply)* - 75% superwash merino/25% nylon (425m/100g)
- Barbarella Sparkle Sock - 75% superwash merino/20% nylon/5 % gold stellina (400m/100g)
- Darling DK -75% superwash merino/25% nylon (225m/100g)
*Audrey with a Twist - this yarn base is the same blend and meterage as our classic Audrey sock yarn, but with a high twist finish which, in my opinion, really makes speckles pop!
More information on our yarn bases can be found here.
