The Knitty McPurly 2026 Advent Calendar is here! This year’s theme is from Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount…
“Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil, nor spin; yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.” - Matthew 6: 28 and 29
This year’s Advent has upgraded packaging, and contains twenty-fIve 20g mini skeins in either Frankfurt Fingering weight or Dubrovnik DK! The colors will explore the color story of the lilies of the field: the big, bold, bright lilies, as well as the dainty, delicate wildflowers that live for only a day. The colors will span the spectrum, fading from one into the next.
(Yes, I originally said it would be 24 skeins, but we needed to add one for Christmas! Jesus’s birthday needed its own skein.)
Frankfurt Fingering weight yarn is 75% Superwash Merino / 25% Nylon and each mini skein is approx. 93 yards / 84 meters. The entire Advent is 2,325 yards / 2,126 meters.
Dubrovnik DK is 100% Superwash Merino and each mini skein is approx. 50 yards / 45 meters. The entire Advent is 1,250 yards / 1,143 meters.
Advent calendars will ship in November so you will receive them by December 1st! Please order this calendar by itself. If you want to order anything else, please place a separate order so they can ship separately.
Here are some patterns that would be a great match for this Advent calendar! More ideas can be found here - thanks Natalie!
