I was very pleased with my yarn advent from Lizzie Bird Yarns. It’s an “in betwixt” set for the days between Christmas and New Year’s. As you can see, it came with each skein lovingly wrapped, plus lots of special goodies, including a sweet set of gingerbread stitch markers.
I chose the Log Cabin set, and I love the subdued colors and gold sparkle. As fate would have it, I have a skein of Campfire Yarn’s Cranberry Forest with gold stellina that is a perfect match for this set. It was a gift, and I’m excited to put these together for a Yuletide shawl later this year.
I have to say, I am really glad I purchased a yarn advent and didn’t just go with my DIY idea — which honestly was kind of a let down. I love the advent chest, though, so I’ll try to come up with a different idea to use it next year.
Did you receive any yarn over the holidays? Are you already planning your holiday knits for 2022, as I am? I would love to hear about it.

Lovely yarn and those colors are beautiful! No yarn here but thinking about purchasing yarn for a project soon. Happy New Year!

It looks beautifully presented. No new yarn for me and none for the foreseeable, not until I’ve done some weaving and used up a good amount.

Amazed that I didn’t receive any yarn for the holidays this year. Still workin’ my stash, although I did buy 5 skeins for my current project.

I was gifted one skein of hand dyed sock weight wool; I’m not sure what I’ll do with it, and will wait for inspiration as I have a pretty long queue already! And lots of stash.

This is a lovely looking set! They did a great job with the presentation, too. I didn’t get any yarn this Christmas, but I did get yarn money, so I’m looking forward to spending that!
