About Bothy Threads Advent Calendar 2026
Bothy Threads, the Cumbrian cross stitch kit maker, has built its 2026 Advent Calendar with 25 doors this year, one more than last, so the last opens on Christmas Day. The box is jade green with tinsel, baubles and fairy lights on the front.
The centre of it is five full cross stitch kits designed only for this calendar, by Wrendale Designs (Hannah Dale), Ink and Snail, Angie Spurgeon, Julie Oldham and Emma Ball. Three cross stitch Christmas decoration kits by Love Lucy Illustrations come with them, and the other doors hold sewing extras: needles, a thread holder, exclusive needle minders and stitching-themed gifts.
There is no food in it. Bothy Threads sells it only on its own website, £112.99, in stock and shipping now as of 9 November 2026.

Bothy Threads Advent Calendar 2026 by the numbers
How each one is countedEvery figure is computed from the record at build time and set against the median of the same season and the same kind of contents. Door price is the price on the box over its doors; the value multiple is what the contents come to at retail over that price; full size is the retailer’s own marking. Where the record cannot support a figure, the page leaves it out rather than guessing.The definitions, one by one →Each figure against the median of this season's art shelf — 40 calendars. Green is the better side of the median, red the worse; the median is printed so you can disagree.

Our Bothy Threads Advent Calendar 2026 review
Our verdict
A stitcher's calendar built around eight kits, five of them full designs by Wrendale, Angie Spurgeon, Emma Ball and others made only for this box. The accessories fill the gaps between them. For someone who stitches it is weeks of projects; for anyone else it is a box of needles.
