This is a special release of our 2023 'Gingerbread Haus' 2023 Advent colourways, dyed on Merino Silk Yak DK, as used by Helen Stewart in the Knitvent 2025 pattern 'Threadkeeper Cowl' & the next two Knitvent pattern releases.

The 'Gingerbread Haus' Merino Silk Yak DK Set will be dyed to order, to ship in late November.  It will include:

  • 1 x special 100g main skein - designed to complement the mini skeins (a speckled colourway).

Please note the Threadkeeper Cowl pattern is only available to purchase as part of the Curious Handmade 'Knitvent 2025' Collection.  The collection can be purchased on Ravelry here.  

Knitvent is a festive collection of six secret accessory patterns, released one-by-one over six weeks by Curious Handmade every November to December.

Yarn Base Information:

Merino Silk Yak DK - 60% superwash Merino / 20% Yak / 20% Silk- (Main Skein - 212m/ 100g, Mini Skeins - 42m / 20g).

This special DK weight / 8 Ply yarn base is perfect for garments and accessories. 

The natural grey-brown colour of the yak fibre content will add a beautiful rich undertone to the Advent colour palette and a lovely heathered effect to the colourways.  

Working with Hand Dyed Yarns

Hand-dyed in small batches in Tasmania.

The beauty and nature of hand dyed yarn is that every skein is unique and individual. Even within the same dye batch variations between skeins can occur.

We therefore recommend alternating skeins within your projects to ensure an optimal finish and colour blending.

Please also ensure you buy enough yarn for your project at the time of purchase, as colours can vary between dye batches.

Care Instructions

Our hand dyed yarns have been washed to remove excess dye, however some residual dye may remain, particularly in dark and saturated colourways. 

It is recommended to gently hand wash your hand dyed projects in cold water.

Wool wash or a mild detergent may be used.

We recommend blocking and drying garments flat and not tumble drying.
