MENUMENU
- Virtual Mill Open WeekendFriday 5th – Sunday 7th, June – Unfortunately, we’ll be missing seeing you in person – but, instead, we’ve decided to throw open our (virtual) doors and invite you all inside the Mill for an extended weekend of woolly delights, nattering and stories about how our machines work.
- Yarns
- By Range
- YarnadelicAs you may know, John is not only a spinner of yarn, but also records. This got us thinking that it would be wonderful to create a yarn range inspired by his eclectic record collection. We hope you’ll enjoy this groovy range of heathered shades in 100% Falklands Corriedale fibre. Yarnadelic will launch at 10am (GMT) on Friday 24th January.
- Knit By Numbers
- Exmoor SockOur Exmoor Sock Yarn enhances the durable character and bounce of the fibre from our local Exmoor Blueface sheep – a cross breed of the Exmoor Horn (full bodied and hard-wearing) and the Bluefaced Leicester (renowned for it’s softness and lustre). We’ve added naturally dark browny-black Devon Zwartbles giving extra bounce and a subtle fleck of colour, plus Falklands Corriedale to enhance softness and stitch definition.
