A warm welcome to Beehive Yarn's Advent Calendar for 2025, 'La Vie En Rose'.
Meaning literally, ' life in pink', to me it is about appreciating the beauty in life and happiness in full bloom. Our advent colourways will be inspired by roses and rose gardens, by sparkly summer days and by soft, velvety blooms.
Our weekly advent contains 4 x individually wrapped full skeins of speckled/variegated yarn, one to open each week of advent.
The colourways will form a fade from pale peachy pink through to deep reds/burgundy.
For the first time our weekly advent will also include a knitting pattern from Sara @mycupofknitting! If you are a crocheter, or prefer to choose your own pattern please don't worry, this yarn set will work with so many lovely patterns, and I have lots of fade pattern suggestions saved on Pinterest and Ravelry.
Please see the pictures included on this post for our colourway inspiration.
Your Advent includes:
- 4 x full skeins of yarn, individually wrapped
- One or two small extras that complement the theme
- An exclusive knitting pattern (by download) by Sara @mycupofknitting

*Audrey with a Twist - this yarn base is the same blend and meterage as our classic Audrey sock yarn, but with a high twist finish which, in my opinion, really makes speckles pop!
