As part of our annual Mill Open Weekend shenanigans, we always create a limited-edition mini collection of yarn and tops to help celebrate in style. We thought we would try something new this year, by making you all honorary Mill Folk and inviting you to help us! Introducing, Mineralogy…
We created a series of surveys which allowed you all to give us a hand whipping up those specials: everything from selecting the blend and colour palette, to theme and shade names. And we’re so smitten with how this range has turned out; together with your help we’ve created something truly special.
You can find our Mineralogy Yarn here!
First you chose a soft and lustrous blend of Corriedale, Grey Exmoor Blueface and Romney. It is mostly Corriedale, a gorgeously soft and bouncy fibre, well suited to pretty much anything you might fancy making in it! You chose to blend this Corriedale with soft and lustrous Grey Exmoor Blueface, and then to enhance the drape by adding a dash of Romney. The resulting yarn and tops are buttery soft with a gentle handle and warm, woolly character.
We love drawing on the natural world when creating themes for our ranges, so were thrilled when you selected Geology and Minerals as an inspiration for your chosen colour palette. There is so much inspiration to draw from with this theme, from a favourite pebble picked up on a beach , to the cliffs and formations which can be spotted the length and breadth of the UK. In keeping with the theme, we’ve photographed this range, along with a few samples, at Haytor, one of Dartmoor’s most dramatic rock formations.
Composition: 75% Corriedale / 17% Grey Exmoor Blueface / 8% Romney
