Kraken Linocut Print by Becca Thorne
We have something extra special for the sea-monster loving amongst you! Remember the Kraken, the linocut Becca Thorne created for our latest range Seafarer?
She has done a limited series of linoprints of the illustration - and we got our paws on a very small amount of them! These are hand printed in black Safe Wash oil-based ink on beautifully soft and creamy Nepalese lokta paper. lokta paper is an acid-free creamy-toned, traditional Himalayan paper made of pulp from coppiced lokta shrubs, produced in a traditional, low impact way. All prints are signed and editioned.
The original Seafarer Kraken illustration was designed, hand carved and hand-burnished by Becca in her home studio.

Local Fibre
Our mill is situated in the heart of North Devon. As much as possible we use the fibre which is reared and sheared on this land, utilising the unique properties of each breed in our yarn and tops.
Unique Yarn & Tops
The hours of work and skill that go into producing one of our yarn and tops ranges is reflected in the dedication of a knitter, spinner or crocheter during the intricate journey from beginning to finished garment – both are a harmony of tradition and creativity.
Vintage Machines
Our Mill is one of only a handful of small-scale worsted spinning mills still operating in the UK. Many of our vintage machines were rescued from old, traditional mills before their closure. Keeping them going is a labour of love, but we reckon that the resulting woolly treats are well worth it!
