Shearing and Surprise Bags
On this episode of the Millcast, we show off this week’s release - a new round of Surprise Bags! Launching today at 10am ET, these fan favorites are 3+ skeins of surprise colorways. We also take you along for shearing day at Peggy and Todd’s Farm, Savage Hart Farm! Watch as Gwen Hinmann shears all 34 sheep, and enjoy some interviews with JFM family and friends who came along for the day. We also share lots of little tidbits, including what we’re knitting, crazy dog stories, a Knit for Food update, upcoming field trips, and much more!
