Buttons Buttons Buttons!
In this episode, Peg and Amanda discuss one of the most important finishing touches to your knitting and crochet projects - buttons! We interview Jane Quimby from NH Buttons who talks about the history of buttons, materials, collectors, and transitioning into online auctions during the pandemic. We take a look at some buttons Peg has picked up recently before diving into what’s new in the Mill this week. We just wrapped up spinning a new Candy Cane yarn, Making Tracks DK Undyed, and our limited edition Holiday Box yarn! Finally, we close with a reminder that the Mill will be open for Holiday Shopping Hours every Saturday between 11/30 and 12/21 from 10am-1pm!
