Knit for Food 

This week on the Millcast we kick off with what we got up to this weekend! We then introduce our latest yarns - three new colors of Roots LITE, Ochre, Paprika, and Blueberry. Available today at 10am, We’re also offering bundles for the Alpine Bloom Hat (knit) and Wesley Cowl (crochet). We then share an interview with Laura Nelkin, founder of the Knit for Food Knit-A-Thon, as well as how you can support this great cause! We wrap up with some Corriedale Confetti confessions, as well as a reminder of our upcoming events (Wayland Farm Fiber Day on March 9th and JFM Open House on March 15th).
