Introducing our Brewed by the Mill Folk specials! These stonkers were hand-selected and blended (and spun of course) by our talented team at the Mill. Everyone had a go at making a shade this time, and cor blimey have they whipped up some doozies! And Kari-Helene (one of our newest Mill Folks) has created this playful new pattern to accompany these Brewed by the Mill Folks specials – hurrah!
This fab Pick & Mix cowl is different every time you make it! Take three of your favourite skeins (like our Brewed by specials) and mix & match sections of lace, colourwork and texture, to create a cowl that’s truly your own. Just like one of those crinkly brown paper bags full of pick & mix sweets in times of yore… You get to choose all your best bits and in any combo you like!
