Hello everyone! We're back with a Summer Sale!

Just spent fab couple of days in the borders. Thanks to @Bordermillshop for generously giving their time to talk about the processes involved in yarn production - more to come on our F2F website - staff are very camera shy, so instead their lovely dogs and gorgeous yarn!

I have a lovely squishy pile of skeins just about ready to label, and I'm working hard to get these beauties ready, photographed and online!
For the curious: North Coast Tweed in Loch Eriboll, Red Point, and Gloamin'. 💙💖💜

@perfumefiend We were so happy when we saw that order come in. I hope it made a happy Christmas for you. 🥰

@perfumefiend Slow and steady wins the race. ❤️
I'm happy to hear you're enjoying them. 🥰

@perfumefiend I think I can feel it from here! 😂

We've added adorable little 10g balls to the North Coast 4 ply range; especially useful if your colourwork pattern only needs a small amount of one colour!
Online now, £2 each. c. 36m/10g

Created by our talented designer friends Skein Reaction and Stella Ackroyd, the patterns previously only available at our shop or at shows, are now online!
Written (or adapted) especially for our yarns, these beautiful patterns showcase the range and versatility of our yarns.

An excellent look at the inner goings on at the mill!

We featured in last weeks @ITVBorderLife, Graham visited us and @Bordermillshop a wee while ago to make this programme. I’m inspired to knit now! Things a little hectic last week, the link to catch up below https://t.co/4rTBY7pzVT
