Sock Sunscreen Summer Solstice Countdown Box

Everyone has different must-haves for their summer bag — and we’re betting yours includes yarn! But there’s something else that might be (gasp) more important, and that’s sun protection! Whether you choose to use mineral or chemical sunscreen, or to stay in the shade, protecting your skin from UV damage is an investment in your future health. To make sun safety more fun, there are tons of super cute options for sunscreen packaging, which got us thinking… “What if these colors were on yarn?”

Start your summer off right and stay inspired to put on your SPF with a seven-day countdown. The box is filled with sunscreen-inspired yarn and the option to treat yourself to other summery notions-pouch essentials! This mystery countdown has six variegated colorways and a final tonal that ties them all together. To make the box accessible to as many people as possible, we have a variety of total yardages available. Each yardage option comes with the ability to include or exclude our Sun-Safe-Tional notions add-on.

This listing is for sock-weight yarn. You can find DK-weight yarn here and spinning fiber here. Our sock-weight yarn is 75% superwash Merino wool, 25% nylon for strength. Your yardage options are:

7 mini skeins — 92 yards/20 grams each. 658 yards/140 grams total.
