............................................. FRACS! LATROP! CIGAM! ............................................. 


Is it a magic spell? Absolutely. And we invite you to use it liberally, as you make your way through this festive mystery project as part of this year’s [Woolly Mammoth Fibre Co. Yarn Advent][1]. 

Enjoy discovering the colourful mini-skeins one by one, and watching them transform upon your needles into something at once unexpected and warmly familiar. 

Inspired by the vintage illustrations of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by the late Belfast author C.S. Lewis., this playful collaboration has brought back for us those giddy feelings of wonder we have all experienced in childhood. And we hope it does the same for you. Thank you for joining us on this winter holiday Adventure! ............................................. MATERIALS & INFORMATION

 ............................................. IMPORTANT: DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS ............................................. For those who plan to work on this project in ‘Advent Surprise mode’ (whereby you open one mini-skein at a time without seeing all the colours at once), the pattern has likewise been divided into 12 Chapters to avoid spoilers. Download one chapter at a time, starting with Chapter 1. Each chapter will then tell you which mini-skein to open. To be clear: Download each Chapter *before* you open each mini, because the order in which the mini-skeins appear in the pattern is different from the numerical order in which they are labelled. In short: Start with Chapter 1, and all will be explained. ............................................. For those who plan to open all the skeins at once and do not care about spoilers, the complete version of the pattern is likewise included, to spare you the hassle of dealing with multiple downloads. This file is clearly labeled 'Complete Pattern.' Do not download it if you do not want spoilers! ............................................. Note that colour photos fully showing the design will be added after the final day of Advent. For those who choose to work ahead, we ask that you please not post spoiler photos in your project pages :) .............................................
