Introducing our 2025 Rhinebeck KAL

This week on the Millcast, we’re officially introducing our 2025 Rhinebeck Knit Along, the Florence Sweater! Tune in to see the four new yarns we created in celebration of the occasion, and meet the designer, Elenor Mortensen, who we interview on this week’s episode! Elenor shares when she got started knitting, what inspires her patterns, and what made the Florence special as she was creating it. We also share some personal updates, what we’re knitting right now, and some of our favorite new reads. We wrap up with a tour around the Mill!
