2026 Apothecary Christmas Yarn Advent
After 8.5 incredible years, through every high, pause, and return, I’m gently scaling the shop back to make space for new chapters. This decision is deeply bittersweet; this business has been my heart and a constant in my life, and your support has meant everything.
Following my recent Studio Ghibli release (orders will be dispatched super soon!!), I’m so excited to bring you a 2026 Christmas Advent, and this year, it’s more special than ever. With additional yarn bases, more boxes available, and a new luxurious merino lace option offering up to 6,960m of yarn, this is the most expansive and indulgent advent I’ve created yet.
You may notice a price increase this year. This reflects both rising costs and a long-overdue shift to properly value the work. Allowing me to elevate every detail, from packaging to the surprises inside, without compromise.
I truly don’t know what the future holds, and this may be my final advent, making this release all the more meaningful. If you’ve ever considered one, this is the year to join in.
Thank you, always, for being here and for supporting something so close to my heart.
Apothecary 2026 Christmas Advent
This 25-day advent is a slow unfolding: a fade of softened hues, each skein melting into the next like pressed petals and aged tinctures.
A palette of whispers: dried lavender, sage, earth, and ash.
Rooted in the language of the apothecary, this collection draws from the quiet power of herbalism and transformation. Each colour is inspired by dried botanicals, ground spices, and time-worn remedies: cinnamon bark, steeped mugwort, crushed petals, smoked resins.
The tones are gentle and muted, built on a base of warm beiges, ash greys, and softened browns, layered with subtle washes of lavender, sage, and dusky mineral hues.
This is a tonal fade, carefully composed so that each skein holds a singular, unified colour story, enriched with delicate variations: soft overlays, overdyes, and fine speckles that echo the natural irregularity of plant matter and pigment. Rather than contrast, this advent embraces harmony: each shade flows seamlessly into the next, creating a continuous, meditative gradient.
Designed as a circular fade, the sequence loops gently onto itself. There is no true beginning, no fixed end. You may start wherever you feel called, allowing your making to follow intuition rather than structure. The colours will carry you effortlessly forward, blending and shifting like a slow infusion.
With every stitch, a gentle act of transmutation.
With every colour, an intention laid.
