I’ll be bringing back a few Grande Skeins tomorrow (Wednesday, November 29)!

A Grande Skein is a BIG skein of yarn (300 g, 400 g, 500 g, 600 g)!
These are dyed as one large skein and then wound into a BIG CAKE after it dries!

These are either 100 gram skeins connected BEFORE dyeing or one continuous strand of yarn, depending on what I’ve got on hand. Either way, you’ll get a HUGE cake of yarn when you order! 💙

The color shown here is Gothic Blue and is part of our Gothic Tonal Collection.

On December 1st, I’ll be releasing a collection of five mini Christmas sweaters on Ravelry and on my website. These are perfect for the little bits of yarn scraps you have laying around. ❤️

These are top-down sweaters with the little pictures added after you knit them so no colorwork involved!

I love making these because they are super quick and only use about 5-10 grams of yarn! A perfect project to make while watching Christmas movies!

Be sure to check out our Christmas tonal mini set that’s listed at a very special price!

The 24 Days of Christmas Ornaments 2023 is starting on Monday!

Do you have your advent calendars ready? If not, find some yarn scraps so you can knit along!

This is such a fun project for me and I have gotten nothing but positive feed back over the years about it. It’s such a fun way to use your advent calendar mini skeins or any yarn scraps you have in your stash (and I know you do!).

This is how it works:
1. Purchase the pattern on Ravelry
2. Receive a new mini sock ornament pattern December 1-December 24!
3. Knit the mini pattern
4. Hang it on your tree or on your mantle!

That’s it!

I’m so excited about it, I hope you are too! 🎄

Link to the 2023 pattern is in my bio, as well as previous years patterns!

I have decided to offer a Christmas Eve Cast On Sock Set!

If you live in the US, you will receive this in time to cast on by Christmas Eve! International buyers will most likely not receive theirs by December 24.

You’ll receive:
• One (100 gram) skein of Biscotti Sock (85/15 SW Merino Wool/Nylon/437 yards/100 grams)
• Two (20 gram) mini skeins on Biscotti Sock (85/15 SW Merino Wool/Nylon/87 yards/20 grams)

Sign up at YarnCafeCreations.com by December 7 in order to get yours! Yay! 🎄🎄
