The four Sundays of Advent Shawl box was so popular last year and it’s back again this year ,if you don’t knit socks then this advent of Shawls could be for you . The month of December is a busy time in the run up to Christmas, therefore this will be a gorgeous treat for yourself or a wonderful Christmas/Solstice gift for a creative friend. Advent this year begins on Sunday 30th November.
This Years theme is the Chronicles Of Narnia By C.S.Lewis. In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe the young Lucy goes through the back of a wardrobe into Narnia, an imaginary land ruled by a tyrannical White Witch who has made it, as one character explains, “[a]lways winter and never Christmas.” When Lucy returns to Narnia with her three siblings, they help the great lion Aslan (the form in which the Son of God usually appears in Narnia) defeat the White Witch and free Narnia from her power. The other six books recount further adventures in Narnia and develop Lewis’s fantasy world, which is full of detail and atmosphere, populated with animals (such as beavers, mice, and wolves), creatures from Germanic and classical mythology (giants, dwarfs, centaurs, unicorns, fauns, dryads, and numerous others), made-up beings such as the one-footed Dufflepuds (or Duffers) and the tall, web-footed Marsh-wiggles, and children visiting from their everyday world. Living, through the imagination, in the idyllic, pastoral Narnia is part of the appeal of the stories for children and adults.
This box will contain 4 shawl patterns and 100g 425m super wash merino/nylon yarn enough to knit each shawl.The box will also include an exclusive project bag To store your project in. The yarn will also be suitable for other projects if you don't like knitting shawls.
The yarn and pattern will be wrapped and labelled for you to open on each Sunday in advent and will also include small Gifts .
The yarn is hand painted using environmentally friendly dyes .
The dye Process: I use non-toxic acid dyes which has very little waste as all of the dyes are exhausted into yarns before any water is poured away. I use food grade citric acid as setting agent, and rinse with water, to maintain a low impact on the environment. I take care to provide colourfastness, but some bleeding may occur in the first wash.
The advents will be mailed at the beginning of November or sooner to allow time to arrive in time for the first Sunday of Advent.
Because The gifts will be hand made The number of Advents will be limited. All parcels will be mailed tracked 48 .
