Mill Open Weekend
Our in-person Mill Open Weekend is over for another year, but save the date for next year’s MOW:
Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th June 2026
We’d love to see you!
MOW Info
Our Mill in South Molton, North Devon is one of only a handful of small-scale worsted spinning Mills still operating in the UK. This is where us Mill Folk create all our luxurious tops and yarns using vintage machinery and local fibre.
At the Mill Open Weekend you’ll find:
- Tours: our Mill will be open for tours, so you’ll be able to see and learn about our vintage spinning and processing machinery. Our trusty Mill Folk will be on hand to explain things as you travel through the Mill, providing you with a glimpse of how our yarn is made. Each tour offers the opportunity to wander around the Mill, soak everything up and ask as many questions as you fancy.
- Pop Up Shop: Browse all our wondrous woolly wares and a few extra special limited editions too.
- Special Guest Vendors: We’ll be joined by some fabulous guest vendors, offering yarn and related accessories.
- Workshops: Workshops will run throughout the weekend, hosted by experts in their field who’ll give you the skills to advance your techniques or get off to a great start with a new hobby.
- Talks: There are so many great stories that fibre folks have to tell, so we invite a few select speakers to talk about their passion projects. If you’d like a flavour of the talks we’ve hosted in the past, they’re all recorded and release them on our YouTube channel throughout the next year.
- Café: We run a pop-up café offering teas, coffees and cakes.
- Will there be a Virtual Mill Open Weekend again? Yes, of course! We know there are many folks who can’t make it to our little corner of North Devon in person, so we host a Virtual Mill Open Weekend each year with all events happening free on Zoom. Dates for 2026 TBC.
Traveling From Far: If you’re travelling to Devon from further afield and have any questions about logistics, accommodation or travel tips, we’re always happy to offer an opinion. Please pop us an email with any questions you may have.
