It’s time for the 2025 countdown kit - Antiquarian Library
There are 2 separate listings for this kit - the traditional or the double - if you want basically a set of earrings each day by receiving 2 removable markers.
*Please start by reading this one - the main one which has all the details. Links to other versions at bottom of this listing.
This year’s kit is about being enveloped in a cozy space, on an overstuffed, leather couch, piled with lush velvet pillows, oriental rugs on the floor, darkly painted walls lined with stacks of books bound in jewel toned leather and of course, a stash of gorgeous skeins in colors that are rich, deep and saturated.
An escape from the chaos of the world.
**********************************
The color theme is saturated and rich jewel tones loosely based on the image. Purples, plums, berrries, red, deep teal, rich navy and golden amber.
Duration
Increased options including: 8, 12, 21 & 25 days to fit Advent, Solstice & Hanukkah celebrations.
However, kits will NOT mention any holidays within so you can allow your preference of duration or budget to make the selection.
Metals
Options include all the classics: Silver Plated & Copper, & Antique Copper.
Loop Sizes
For Silver plated, Copper and Antique Copper, options are: Sock (US 3); Worsted (US 8); Aran (US 10); Removable (Opens) or a Mix of the 4.
Style
Each kit comes in 2 styles: Lovely & Luxe
The Lovely - features 1 stitch marker per day wrapped in a lovely, numbered package in a beautiful, gift worthy box tied with gorgeous ribbon and two special treats.
The stitch markers will be a mix of genuine freshwater pearls, gemstones & possibly an exquisite glass.
The Luxe - includes everything in the Lovely kit plus 3 very special extras from an indie yarn dyer & Purlsmith.
These extras are sensory delights that would perfect your experience if you were relaxing in the inspiration photo.
*Please note - in previous years, I’ve really encouraged pre-ordering but that’s never been more important than this year. I may be able to have extras in the fall but if that required buying more supplies, they could be a completely different, higher price.
The majority of Purlsmith’s advent customers have purchased year after year.
My goal for this year is it truly to be a treat, a sensory delight that is thoughtfully curated to become something you truly look forward to every day.
The colors this year will not be typical Purlsmith colors and will be completely a different effect than previous years.
Please note -
* All kits will be mailed in early November to ensure they are in your hands for the start of your celebration.
* Because of the variability of the times, I am not including shipping in the price but will bill you for actual shipping in the Fall.
* Please order advents by themselves - you cannot combine an advent with something that you would like to receive now. You may include more than one advent if they are going to the same address.
ORDERING Options
Use this listing for the classic kits or use….
Double - Use this kit if you would like 2 removable stitch markers in each envelope matched as closely as possible so they can be used as earrings and you are a fiber lover.
