Monet's Water Lilies Advent Minis Set; Pre- Order

  • $50.00


Please note that this listing MUST be purchased separately from all other listings so that shipping calculates properly. Any combined purchases will be cancelled or billed for additional shipping.

This listing will remain open for PRE-ORDER until May 10, or capacity is reached

The 24 colors in this set will be the inspired by Monet's Water Lilies paintings, specifically the eight murals on display at the Musee de l'Orangerie in Paris. The minis will be arranged in a gradient color progression, with one color washing into the next color to form an overall impression of water lilies similar to the paintings I'm using as inspiration.

This is a new set of 24 colors, and will be packaged in numbered bags (1-24) for you to open daily if you want to participate in advent knitting this coming holiday season. The colors in this set will remain a mystery until you open your set (I won’t be posting any photos of what the set looks like until the very end of December at the earliest). This set is for 24 minis on your choice of bases and weights. If you want/need a full skein of contrast for your set, that will be available for purchase separately closer to the time that the advent sets ship 

You can read more about Musee de l'Orangerie and see the murals through this link  and this link

These pre-orders will ship in early NOVEMBER to arrive in time for advent knitting (at the latest! I'm hoping to ship these in September before fall show season takes me out of the studio!)

 
There is an option with this listing to pay a $50 deposit now, and I will invoice you monthly in June, July, and August for the remaining balance due. There is no additional charge for the monthly invoice option, but if you fail to make your remaining payments, any payments made are not refundable. Deposits for any base option can be made with the one DEPOSIT option, and I will contact you to determine which base and weight you want! (This is the only way to make the drop-down menu NOT a mile long, lol!)
