Millcast Episode 105

Popular Yarn

In this episode, Peg and Amanda recap the past week at the Mill and unveil our latest limited edition yarns. We kick things off with a field trip to Pict Wool, a fiber mill in New Hampshire, to explore whether they can help us process some Rambouillet, which contains far more vegetable matter than our machines can handle. We also share photos of their combing machine, a piece of equipment we don’t have at Junction Fiber Mill. The highlight of the episode is our new Wicked-inspired yarns. We’ve introduced two vibrant colorways—Popular (pink) and Defying Gravity (green)—available separately or as a bundle at a 10% discount. We also discuss our Holiday Box giveaway that is now live on Instagram! We wrap up with a look at what’s on our needles and our new Holiday Shopping Hours, every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. between 11/30 and 12/21. We hope to see you at the Mill soon!
