Halloween mystery yarn box - Samhain 2022

This is a pre-order for the mystery Halloween mystery yarn box that we have prepared to celebrate Samhain this year!

We are offering these mystery boxes that contain full skeins of yarn instead of the Halloween advent calendars this year to let you have a wider choice of projects. Each box will contain a number of full sized skeins of your choosing plus some small extras to bring you joy in the holiday season. 

All boxes will be shipped in September using a tracked method to arrive in time to start an October project.

If you order this box together with another product, you will be charged more for shipping because we will need to ship them separately. Gift wrapping options available at checkout.

All skeins in the box will be dyed in the same Samhain themed colourway to make a memorable project. It will be an exclusive and unique variegated colourway and it will come with a small card explaining the Samhain lore behind it. The yarn on the picture is just for illustration purposes.

• 2 skeins will work well for a set of hat and mittens or a scarf
• 4 skeins will make a large shawl, small sweater or a medium vest
• 6 skeins will make a comfortable medium to large jumper or a cardigan

Please select your choice of a yarn base (you can find more information about our yarn bases along with some pictures here):

• 4ply/Fingering Sock: Superwash 75% merino / 25% nylon. Each skein is 425m (464 yards) / 100g (3.5 oz). This yarn is perfect for socks and for other lighter garments, for example, scarves and shawls.
• 4ply/Fingering BFL Sock High Twist 80% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester/20% Nylon 365 meters (399yards) per 100g (3.5oz). This is a high twist yarn that is very durable with remarkable stitch definition
• DK Sparkle Sock: Superwash 75% merino / 22% nylon / 3% silver sparkle. Each skein is 225m (246 yds) per 100g (3.5 oz). With a bit of sparkle it will make a beautiful luxury item
• DK BFL: Superwash 100% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester. Each skein is 225m (246 yds) per 100g (3.5 oz). BFL yarn does not need to have nylon in it to be durable and suitable for making socks which makes it a great alternative to synthetic blends.
• DK SW merino: 100% Superwash merino - warm, smooth and soft yarn that would work so well in hats, scarves, shawls and cardigans. Each skein is 225m (246 yds) per 100g (3.5 oz). The wool is mulesing free and comes from South America
• DK Baby alpaca cashmere silk: 70% Baby Alpaca, 20% Silk, 10% Cashmere. Each skein is 225m (246 yds) per 100g (3.5 oz). This is one of the most luxurious yarn blends. Baby Alpaca adds warmth and texture, it is strong and lightweight, where silk adds shiny smooth lustre and cashmere makes it unbelievably soft. It is such a pleasure to craft with it and can truly make a memorable and unique item.
• Aran MCN: 80% Superwash Merino Wool / 10% Cashmere / 10% Nylon. Each skein is 166m (181 yds) per 100g (3.5 oz). This is a luxury squishy yarn that would make a beautiful soft item
