Introducing the second ever IBM Yarns Advent Calendar: "THE FAE HOLLOW"

Step into an enchanted woodland hidden deep within a misty forest, where pastel fairies dance among blooming flowers, shimmering wings catch the morning light, and delicate droplets glisten softly on leaves and petals.

This year’s advent has been inspired by whimsical forest magic. Think dreamy pastel skies, iridescent fairy wings, sparkling streams, delicate florals, mossy pathways, soft enchanted glows, and the gentle beauty of nature wrapped in magic.

Designed especially for lovers of pastel palettes and whimsical fantasy aesthetics, The Fae Hollow offers a truly magical crochet and knitting experience from beginning to end.

Advent Options

Please note that Pima cotton may take dye slightly differently due to its unique fibre structure and naturally soft undertone. This can create subtle variations in the final colour, which is part of what gives each hand-dyed skein its individual character and depth.

12 Day Advent – Classic Cotton
A curated 12-day yarn advent featuring hand-dyed pastel cotton minis inspired by The Fae Hollow. Designed for a shorter, magical advent experience with a beautifully coordinated colour flow.

24 Day Advent – Classic Cotton (24 days)
The full Fae Hollow advent experience. Open a hand-dyed pastel cotton mini each day leading up to Christmas, with colours designed to flow seamlessly as a complete set.

24 Day Advent – Luxury Pima Cotton (24 days)
A premium version of the full advent, dyed on luxuriously soft Pima cotton. Silky, smooth, and indulgently soft, this option is ideal for a more elevated, heirloom-quality experience.

Optional Add-On

25th Day Full Skein Upgrade
Add a special full skein to open on Christmas Day. Dyed to coordinate beautifully with your advent set. Please add to cart before checkout.

All advent calendars are presented as individually wrapped surprise skeins. If you would prefer your yarn wound into ready-to-use cakes, please leave a note at checkout.

Each advent includes:

• 1x 25g individually wrapped mini skein each day, with an extra little surprise!

Limited quantities available.

Yarn Note for 2026 Advent

This year’s advent has been thoughtfully curated using our current core cotton bases to ensure consistency, softness, and reliable dye performance across all colourways.

Egyptian cotton will not be featured in this year’s collection due to changes in availability and formulation from our supplier. This decision allows us to maintain the high standard and consistency you expect from IBM Yarns.

Instead, we have focused on our beautifully soft core cotton bases, along with luxurious Pima cotton in the premium advent option. This offers a smooth handle and gentle sheen, making it a beautiful alternative for an elevated finishing experience.
