We thought we would try something new with this year’s Mill Open Weekend special by making you all honorary Mill Folk and inviting you to help us! You chose everything from the blend and colour palette, to the theme and shade names. And we’re so smitten with how this range, Mineralogy, has turned out — with your help we’ve created something truly special.
In keeping with the Geology and Minerals theme, our fab illustrator, Becca Thorne, created a beautiful lino cut design for the yarn labels. She’s featured a variety of fossils, including ammonites and brachiopods, along with a big beautiful quartz crystal. We were so inspired by her design that we’ve created some beautiful notebooks to accompany the range. They have 5mm graph paper – perfect for charts and planning – and are A6 size (10.5 x 14.8 cm or 4.1 x 5.8 inches), so small enough to pop in a pocket or project bag. Printed in the UK on recycled paper.
The notebooks are also 100% manufactured in the UK. It’s important to us to make sure we’re supporting as many local businesses as possible.

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!
