However you celebrate at this time of year what could be more perfect than unwrapping a parcel of silky, fluffy yarn dyed in shades inspired by the twinkling of fairy lights, the cosy glow of an open fire, your favourite indulgent dessert, a glass of warming mulled cider, decadently wrapped parcels tied with velvet ribbons, your favourite silk & taffeta party dress... we could go on. Imagine your perfect opulent festive party scene and that's what we're taking our inspiration from for a pair of skeins of aker | lace, our favourite baby suri alpaca/silk lace-weight yarn.

You can check out our 'festive vibes' inspiration board on Pinterest

Your parcel will contain 2 x 50g skeins of aker | lace (800m in total) one ~fluid~ variegated skein and one semi-solid shade, beautifully wrapped and ready to pop under your tree, place on your seasonal mantle, or tuck into your knitting basket, so you can open it at your leisure and dream up the perfect luxury festive cast-on.

We might knit ours into a cosy cowl, together with a favourite skein of fingering weight yarn from our stash, or on its own to make a gorgeous light, airy wisp of a shawl – we can't quite decide...

Pre-orders are open until Monday 4th December and yarn will be dispatched by Thursday, December 14th.

Please note, if you are outside the UK delivery before the festive holiday is not guaranteed.
