Over the course of 2020 I have gathered quite the collection of skein ends from my projects. These are all assorted weights, lengths and colourings.
For this year I have developed a 24 day advent calendar to use up the ball remnants in my stash. The patterns are a mix of my own designs along with those I have planned to make. I wrap up little bundles of yarn and a packed of fancy tea for each day of December. Above is a selection of yarn I will be using on the patterns!
