Haunted Library Halloween Advent | 13 DK Mini Skeins
Haunted Library Halloween Advent | 13 DK Mini Skeins
The Haunted Library Halloween Advent is a collection of 13 exclusive mini skeins inspired by shadowy old libraries, worn leather books, faded parchment, dark wood, dusty shelves, and things that may be lurking between the stacks after closing.
Each advent contains 13 different 20g mini skeins of Marshmallow Select DK, dyed as a coordinated collection of tonals and semi-solids designed to work beautifully together for colorwork, stripes, scrappy projects, and other multicolor knits or crochet.
IMPORTANT: SHIPPING AT THE END OF AUGUST
This is a preorder and will not ship immediately.
Haunted Library Advents are scheduled to ship at the end of August 2026.
If you purchase other items in the same order, your entire order may be held until the advent is ready to ship. If you need another item sooner, please place a separate order.
What You’ll Receive
- 13 different hand-dyed mini skeins
- 20g per mini skein
- 49 yards / 45 meters per mini skein
- 260g total yarn
- 637 yards / 585 meters total
- Marshmallow Select DK base
- 100% Superwash Merino Wool
- A coordinated collection of tonals and semi-solids

These colors are limited and non-repeatable. Once the Haunted Library Advent is gone, this exact collection will not be dyed again.
Choose Your Advent Style
Wrapped: Each of the 13 mini skeins will be individually wrapped so you can open them one at a time and keep the colors a surprise.
Unwrapped: Your mini skeins will arrive together without individual wrapping, perfect if you’d rather see the entire Haunted Library palette immediately.
The yarn collection is the same with either option. The only difference is the packaging.
The Color Palette
There are 13 different colors in the collection, built around a dark, atmospheric Haunted Library palette.
Expect rich, moody tonals and nuanced semi-solids rather than highly variegated or heavily speckled yarns. The collection is being designed specifically so the colors can be combined easily for colorwork and multicolor projects.
Because this is a surprise advent, the complete palette will remain hidden before shipping.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Non-superwash wool must always be hand washed in cool water with a mild wool wash and laid flat to dry. Do not machine wash, as it will felt and shrink with heat or agitation.
Superwash yarns can be hand washed in cool water for the best longevity, but they may also be machine washed on a gentle cycle inside a garment bag. Always lay flat to dry.
Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat, as these can damage the fibers.
Blend-Specific Notes
Sock yarns with nylon (such as Snowdrift Select Sock) are more durable and tolerate gentle machine washing, though hand washing will still extend the life of your project.
Glitter yarns with Stellina (such as Gold Glitter and Silver Glitter) should be handled gently; avoid wringing or twisting to protect the sparkle filament.
Bulky yarns (such as Salcantay Bulky) are heavier when wet and should be fully supported while drying flat to prevent stretching.
Hand-Dyed Yarn Notes
Hand-Dyed Yarn Notes
Colors may be slightly different than actual product as computer and device monitor settings can alter the color appearance. We do our best to ensure that the yarns appear as they do in real life.
Our yarns are hand-dyed in small batches, so slight variations may occur between skeins. For larger projects, we recommend alternating skeins every few rows to blend color shifts.
While every effort is made to set dye thoroughly, some color transfer may occur on the first wash, especially with highly saturated shades. Wash separately the first time.
Yarn is dyed in limited lots, and colors may vary slightly from batch to batch. Please be sure to purchase enough for your project at once.
Large orders placed together will be dyed in the same session to ensure the closest possible match.
