🎁✨  The Gather Mini Skein Advent Calendar is Here! ✨🎁

Gather is an invitation to hold close the people you love, the quiet moments that become memories, and the story only you can create.

**PLEASE NOTE**
These will ship in October 2026!
Please read the entire product description before ordering and see FAQ below.

🎁✨This twelve mini skein Advent calendar was inspired by the beauty of gathering — gathering around the table, gathering traditions, gathering laughter, gathering comfort, gathering the small luminous moments that shape a life. Each color is meant to feel like a piece of something treasured: a memory, a season, a celebration, a story unfolding one day at a time.

🎄What’s Inside:

  • 12 hand-dyed mini skeins best described as earthy & atmospheric with some muted pastels
  • Choose from multiple yarn bases to suit your budget and project plans
  • Optional Upgrade: Choose individually wrapped skeins for an extra-special unboxing experience (and more flexible pricing!)

🧶 Pre-orders are now open! This is a limited-edition offering and will ship in October —just in time to tuck under your tree or gift to a fellow yarn lover.

Let each day be a celebration of connection, of home, of beauty found in the everyday, and of the threads that bind us to one another.

FAQs:

Is there a pattern included? Short answer: No.  Long answer: I will be posting several ideas on my saved Instagram Stories... go to Instagram, go to my profile @hollypressfibers, then to my saved stories.  Last year's group, which is a great place to start, is called "Forage Ideas."  I will compile a new set of ideas this summer, so keep an eye out for it.

Will you have full skeins sold separately to coordinate with the Gather Advent minis?  Yes!  If you need more yardage for a larger project or to "tie" the minis together, I recommend any of these colorways: click this link --> 3 colorways that pair nicely with the Gather Advent.  Further recommendations: If you want light and cheerful, choose a bare yarn with speckles such as Surprised or Simplicity, if you want a bit moodier, choose a very dark yarn such as Pitch.  Additionally, if you need more of a colorway that is part of the Gather Advent set, please contact me and we can create a custom order.  

I don't see an option you had last year (100% superwash merino or the DK Donegal), are you planning on adding those? Sorry, but they are not options this year.  The DK Donegal would mute these colors too much and the 100% superwash merino was not a big enough seller to justify the extra work needed for that particular base.

How long will the preorder be open?  Until it sells out.  We have already dyed the entire collection and due to our schedule this year, we will not be adding more.

How does "Partial Pay" work?  New this year, we have a system that will allow you to pay half now, and half on July 15th.  It will be automatically charged to your card as 50% when you checkout and 50% on July 15th.  No additional fees. 😊 Please make a note for yourself so you remember why you are seeing a charge mid-July! 😊
