2026 Textile Advent Calendar – A Textile Journey Through France
Do you love weaving?
For the fourth consecutive year, Tisse et File and Atelier Monique Ratelle have joined forces to create a truly unique Textile Advent Calendar, designed especially for weaving enthusiasts.
Following last year's journey through Japan, we invite you to discover the rich textile heritage of France.
From December 1 to 24, unwrap a new surprise each day and embark on a carefully designed textile journey inspired by the traditions, fibres, colours, craftsmanship and cultural heritage of France. To preserve the magic of the experience, every destination along the journey will remain a surprise until you discover it.
As with every edition, we have created the calendar we would love to receive ourselves: beautifully presented, thoughtfully curated, filled with exclusive projects and countless details that will make every December morning something to look forward to.
More than an Advent Calendar, this is a month-long creative experience that celebrates weaving, discovery and the joy of making.
What is a Textile Advent Calendar?
Inspired by the traditional Advent calendar, ours replaces chocolates with twenty-four carefully prepared textile surprises created especially for weaving enthusiasts.
Each day brings a new discovery—materials, accessories, exclusive projects, videos, inspiration and many other carefully selected surprises that build an unforgettable creative journey throughout December.
The complete contents remain confidential until December. After all, the excitement of an Advent Calendar comes from opening one surprise at a time.
What will you find inside the 2026 Textile Advent Calendar?
- At least five exclusive weaving projects, designed especially for this edition by Monique Ratelle.
- A version adapted to your loom:
- Rigid Heddle Loom
- 4-Shaft Loom
- 8-Shaft Loom
- 24 individually wrapped and numbered surprises to open from December 1 through December 24.
- Beautiful yarns, fibres, accessories and textile discoveries selected to complement this year's journey.
- Exclusive instructional videos accompanying selected projects.
- The same attention to detail and beautiful presentation that participants have come to expect from every edition.
Who is this Advent Calendar for?
The 2026 Textile Advent Calendar has been designed for anyone who loves weaving, whether you are just beginning your weaving journey or have many years of experience.
When you reserve your calendar, simply choose the version that matches your loom:
- Rigid Heddle Loom
- 4-Shaft Loom
- 8-Shaft Loom
Every participant follows the same creative journey while receiving projects adapted to their chosen loom.
Whether you are looking to learn new techniques, enjoy daily creative moments or simply experience the excitement of discovering something new every morning, this calendar was created especially for you.
Why do so many weavers return every year?
Since our very first edition, our goal has remained the same: to create the Advent Calendar we would be excited to receive ourselves.
Each edition represents months of planning, research, design, testing and preparation. Every detail is carefully considered to create an inspiring, beautifully presented and memorable experience.
Rather than simply filling a box with gifts, we aim to create a meaningful textile journey that unfolds one day at a time.
Available in both English and French
All projects, written instructions and videos are available in both English and French.
