What the heck is Slamvent?
Slamvent 2025 is the FIFTH year Slam Fiber Co. will be creating a December Yarn Advent.
This idea arose from the pure lack of Yarn Advents/Countdowns for the holidays that offered a SUPER BULKY YARN option.
I wanted one, so I made it myself.
What bases are available? How much yarn will I get?
In 2025 there are 9 bases available for purchase. Each separate advent box purchased will include the following:
Super Bulky
12 skeins - 90yds/150g OR 141yds/235g per skein
100% single ply superwash merino
SBL130

When Will I Get my Order?
All Slamvent will be shipped out in early November 2025, in order to provide adequate time for the packages to arrive at their destination well before the December 1 start date.
When Can I Order?
As always, there will be payment plans available. Slamvent pre-orders will begin April 11, 2025, and remain open until capacity is reached.
Why do I have to order so early?
I get it. It's spring - we shouldn't be thinking about winter again already!
Moat of the bases offered are custom milled for Slam Fiber Co. and it takes time to make them! After I have ordered the yarn, there will be a maximum number of Slamvents I will be able to make for you all.
What will the colors look like?
Inspiration will be posted, however, Slamvent is NOT a fade, but there will be the ability of most colors to coordinate with each other.
You can see the previous years collections by searching #slamvent on Instagram!

Do you offer a payment plan?
You bet I do!
If you choose to do the payment plan, your first purchase will include the shipping cost. After that, you will be invoiced for the remainder of the total of your chosen advent, split into 5 payments over 5 months.
If you do not pay your installments, you will forfeit your Slamvent, no refunds will be given, and I will send your advent to another yarn lover.
What are the extra goodies?
There are always a handful of awesome extras included with your yarn. In the past these have been things like brand stickers, stitch markers, notion tin, wool wash, pom poms.... But I will NOT ruin the surprise, so you'll just have to trust me. This year I have taken into consideration feedback from all my customers, and have a SWEEEEEET lineup of goodies for you.
This year will include a hand-thrown, custom made Deneen Pottery Mug!!!
As a child, I loved advents - the joy of opening a surprise every day was something I always looked forward to. As an adult, I have found even more joy in seeing how much those little surprises mean to everyone else.
I hope you will join me in sharing in the Winter Fun, and get your busy hands on a Slamvent!
