Trivial Knits Episode 4 - Yarn Advent Pros and Cons + Advent Pattern and Dyer Recommendations

It's time to start thinking about yarn advents for 2024! Many dyers have already opened pre-orders . This video will share several yarn advents I've purchased in the past and help you decide whether you want to order any advents this year. I'll share patterns I've knitted with my advent yarns, including six patterns by Stephen West / Westknits, and talk about the pros and cons of yarn advents. As always, I end with a fiber-related trivia question.
