It might only be September, and summer may barely even be over, but the holiday season is fast approaching so it is time for this years Advent Calendar.

The 2026 advent "Secrets of the Valley" is inspired by one of my favourite (and lets be honest, one of the only) games: Stardew Valley.

What to expect from this advent?

Plenty of colour of course, I do not do boring at all so this advent will be bright and colourful with a little bit of a neutral tone here and there.

The advent will consist of 24 mini skeins, each wrapped individually so that you can unwrap one every day of December leading up to Christmas.

The advent will be available on Essential Sock only, this lovely sock yarn is a 75% superwash merino & 25% nylon blend that feels absolutely lovely.
