Description
Sign ups for our November 2023 Paddington Sock Box are now closed.
Following the enormous success of our Beatrix Potter and Brambly Hedge Sock Yarn Boxes, Baa Baa Brighouse is introducing a brand new monthly Paddington Sock Box inspired by the much loved novels of Michael Bond.
Each month, we will create a box specifically designed for sock knitters based on the adventures of the intrepid bear. There are 15 books in the series and there will therefore be 15 sock boxes to collect.
Boxes will contain a 100g skein of 100% British Bluefaced Leicester 4 Ply High Twist Sock Hand Dyed Yarn and a contrasting 25g mini skein, perfect for heels, toes and cuffs. Boxes will also include a paperback copy of that month’s book as well as a number of Paddington inspired extras.
Boxes will be available to purchase until Friday November 24th and will be posted out shortly afterwards. The November Paddington Sock Box will be inspired by ‘Paddington Takes The Test’, the 11th book in the series, which was originally published in 1979.
Please see our Product Gallery to view images of our January Paddington Sock Box inspired by ‘A Bear Called Paddington’, our February Paddington Sock Box inspired by ‘More About Paddington’, our March Paddington Sock Box based on ‘Paddington Helps Out’, our April Paddington Sock Box which takes its cue from ‘Paddington Abroad’, our May Paddington Sock Box which was inspired by ‘Paddington At Large’, our June Paddington Sock Box which was inspired by ‘Paddington Marches On’, our July Paddington Sock Box which was based on ‘Paddington At Work’, our August Paddington Sock Box which was inspired by ‘Paddington Goes To Town’, our September Paddington Sock Box inspired by ‘Paddington Takes The Air’ and our October Paddington Sock Box inspired by ‘Paddington On Top’.
