Pre-Order Wee Three Gnomes – MKAL22: Exclusive Goodie Sets & Botanically Dyed Yarn from Alte Künste
December is going to be magical! We’re thrilled to finally share what we’ve been working on with so much passion over the past months:
Alte Künste is the official partner for the Countdown Gift Set for the December Mystery Gnome Knit Along 2026 by Sarah Schira (Imagined Landscapes)! And this means the Countdown Gifts are available in Europe for the first time!
If you love the annual December Gnome Knit Along by Sarah Schira or want to join for the first time this year, we’ve prepared something very special for you.
Pre-Order until August 3, 2026
The pre-order for the Mystery Gnome Knit Along 2026 starts on July 14 and ends on August 3, 2026.
Since all Goodie Gift Sets are individually assembled, lovingly packaged, and numbered, we need this lead time. This way we can ship your orders in early November right on time.
The Exclusive Goodie Gift Set for the Mystery Gnome Knit Along
The highlight of the pre-order is our exclusive Alte Künste Goodie Countdown Set.
🎁Here’s the Goodie Countdown Bag for the Wee Three Gnomes pre-order
The Goodie Countdown Set contains 12 individually wrapped surprises that are perfect for the Mystery Gnome Knit Along:
✅ 12 hand-selected surprise gifts, numbered & individually wrapped. All gifts revolve around knitting, crafts, or gnomes.
✅ Each gift includes a small card with information about the day’s gift (in German and English)
✅ 1 exclusive, large project bag with gnome motif
During the December Knit Along, Sarah will tell you when to open each individual package, so exciting surprises and little joys await you throughout.
Botanically Dyed Yarn Sets for the Gnome Knit Along
For Wee Three Gnomes I’ve also designed wonderful sets of botanically dyed mini skeins for you. Each set contains enough yarn to knit all three gnomes from Wee Three Gnomes:
➡️ classic sets of 3x 20g mini skeins of botanically dyed Bluefaced Leicester sock yarn, or
➡️ the extra large option with botanically dyed DK (3x50g) – to make your gnomes extra large
➡️ additionally, each mini set includes a color card made from FSC-certified poplar wood (made in Germany) and color distribution recommendations for Wee Three Gnomes.

I don’t suppose you would do a special favor? I live in the US, I have a friend who lives in Munich and they will be traveling to the US Sept. 12th. If I paid for the goodie bag, would you be able to mail it to her before Sept. 12th so that she can bring it to the US with her? I know this is a special event, so I am not holding my breath, but thought I could at least ask!
Danka,

Dear Shelley,
Thank you so much for asking — I completely understand why you thought it was worth a try! Unfortunately, we won’t have the goodie bags ready for shipping until mid-October, so I’m afraid we won’t be able to get one to your friend before her trip on September 12th.
I’m so sorry we can’t make it work this time.
Thank you so much for getting back to me!
