We completely adore the light and airy Rainshine Shawl by Melanie Berg, knit up in scrummy Appledore DK, adding a pop of bright delight for those in-between weather days. The unique fan-like texture combines lace and ribbing to create this cheerful triangle shawl which we can just imagine draping over our shoulders on those chilly Devon mornings.
Melanie used Appledore DK in ‘Golden Knob’ to make this incredible sample which is a shade that never fails to put a smile on our faces! You’ll find kits to make an identical shawl, as well as other shades we think will look ace, whether you’re into bright, vivid hues, or muted, subtle tones.

Appledore DK:
Sourced from right here in the West Country, our Appledore blend encompasses our ethos of making local, uniquely heathered yarns. Packed full of woolly bounce and a smattering of lustre, it’s the perfect canvas for a range of playful shades. It’s our most durable yarn – great for hardwearing garments and accessories.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
We recommend that our yarns are gently washed before use as we don’t do any washing or conditioning after the yarns are spun and skeined. You’ll be amazed by how much the fibre blooms after a soak and it will certainly help you get a more accurate feel for gauge and character of the yarn over time.
Once your piece is finished, we recommend another hand wash before wet blocking the piece to the given dimensions. This will set all your stitches and guarantee that your garment looks its best.

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!
