Travelling Companion 2024 Advent Contrast

Travelling Companion

This is a preorder listing.

Travelling Companion is the companion colourway to go alongside my 2024 advent All Of Time & Space, inspired by Blue Box journeys with the Doctor. 

Travelling Companion is a dark blue purple tonal yarn.

You don’t have to have ordered an advent to be able to order this colourway, this preorder is open to all. 

I will do my absolute best to dye these skeins as soon as they are ordered, and aim to have them shipped within 2 weeks of ordering so that if you are using them in an advent project you’ll be able to begin!

This is NOT my DK advent base for 2024- this is my favourite DK base and you can absolutely use it with your DK advent, but this base does not contain nylon, I’ve included it because it’s so squishy and I want to make EVERYTHING out of it!

25% Nylon 

225m per 100g

THIS IS the advent DK base for 2024. I do not offer this base anymore as standard but am bringing it back for this preorder only in case you’d like to match it to your advent.

NEW Plush Fluff:

600m per 100g

Lace Weight

This is NOT an advent yarn base, but it would make an amazing accompanying yarn for your advent or any project. I love all the patterns knit with fluff lace weight, either held double with itself or with another yarn BUT I am not a big mohair fan, and have a mild allergic reaction when working with Alpaca fluff, so I was so excited to find this new base, which I call plush fluff. It’s an unbelievably soft merino fluff lace weight built around a nylon core which makes it strong but still so soft AND it doesn’t shed fibres when you work with it as many fluff yarns can. I’ve tested this myself and would recommend it for anyone who wants to knit fluff projects, and because it is a merino nylon yarn it also doesn’t come with the luxury fibre price point! 

This price is for a single skein.

Care: Superwash yarn can be machine washed on a cool wash, or for extra care please handwash.

This is a preorder yarn which will ship within 2 weeks of ordering. Preorder yarns are dyed as custom orders. Custom orders are non-refundable. 

All yarn has been rinsed thoroughly after dyeing and exhausting the dye, however as with many hand dyed yarns there may be some bleeding when first washing.

All The Lonely Knitter Yarns has been dyed using professional acid dyes in my home in the most easterly town in England, please use the contact form for any dye requests.

Please be aware that I will always do my best to portray the colour of the yarn accurately in the yarn photos, though different monitors and devices may vary slightly in brightness or how they portray colour. This yarn is a deep blue purple tonal yarn.
