PREORDER 2026 Obsession Yarns Advent Calendar - NOCTURNE
I am over the moon to share with you all this years Advent Calendar theme.. NOCTURNE!
Launching Sunday April 26th, 11am AEST 2026.
Nocturne is a celebration of feminine energy. The artwork, feel and colours of this years collection will be heavily inspired by the art styles of the Pre-Raphaelite and Art Nouveau movements, and the beautiful depictions of the muses found within.
Think dark florals... moody contrast... drama and romance... long flowing hair... beautiful gowns... gilded accents...
This advent is for anyone who celebrates the beauty, romance, and complex energy of femininity. It will be a luxurious and beautiful daily experience for you to enjoy throughout December. I have a great passion for this theme and I cannot wait to present my translation of it as a delightful and exciting advent experience. This years packaging will be adorned with stunning artwork by Penny Johansen of Penelope Tentakles.
The box will contain 25 new colours, which you can use to create your own masterpiece. You can expect a variety of semi solid and variegated mini skeins, plus a semi solid main skein to frame them all. This years colour story will be moody, expressive and luxurious with lots of dimension and contrast. As usual you can follow my suggested colour order, or trust your intuition and create your own unique colour story!
I take pride in providing a high end product with a carefully designed colour story and personally curated extra gifts from Australian small businesses. This year will be no exception!

Each skein from Obsession Yarns is hand dyed on a quality yarn base using top quality acid dyes. Whilst a crazy amount of processing, love and care is put into each skein, some colour bleed may occur. We highly recommend blocking and washing in cool water, with a rinse-free delicate woolwash. If you are blocking light and dark colours together, we recommend the use of a colour catching agent such as vinegar or citric acid in a cool bath.
