Folklore & Frost // 2025 Winter Solstice Countdown Box

A hand-dyed yarn or fiber countdown box to celebrate the magic and mystery of winter while exploring six different wintry folktales through color.

For six days leading up to Winter Solstice, from December 16th-21st, we’ll open one little bundle of yarn or fiber per day, each inspired by a different wintry folktale.

We'll be going from lightest to darkest as we approach the darkest day of the year for the Northern Hemisphere, opening fiber or yarn inspired by Jack Frost, Mother Holle, Snow Maiden, Perchta, The Wild Hunt, and Krampus.

To make it extra special, everything will be individually wrapped and we'll enjoy visiting each folktale as we open one bundle of yarn/fiber every day. Every box will be thoughtfully packaged in a magnetic closure box, and include a beautiful hand-painted stitch marker with three accent markers from Denim and Rain Fibers (she’s already designed them and sent me a set - they’re INCREDIBLE)!! 

These boxes are a pre-order and will not ship until early-mid November.

Please do not order any other items with this box other than the optional contrating tonal. If you order something else with this box, your order will have to be refunded, as boxes don't ship for several months.

If you want to order the optional contrasting tonal yarn/fiber, find it here. This is perfect for projects that require a main color (think colorwork or striped sweaters, blankets, etc.)
