Old Mill Tweed - A Handmade Yarn
Some stories aren’t written, they’re spun. This one begins on our West Virginia homestead, where the colors of an old mill—weathered by time and surrounded by nature—found their way into the softest merino wool we could find. We call it Old Mill Tweed, a truly handmade yarn.
It possesses the classic, undeniable appeal of a perfectly tailored tweed jacket. A distinguished base of tan and golden brown evokes the sturdy timbers of the mill itself, while a surprising thread of mossy green speaks of the earth reclaiming its own. Then, the unexpected flash of inspiration: a glint of aqua blue from the creek, a whisper of fuchsia from a wildflower, a deep burgundy from the turning leaves. It’s a colorway that feels both timeless and thoroughly modern, made for more than just a gentleman’s vest or a lady’s wrap—it’s made for your story.
This small-batch, handmade yarn is a versatile DK weight, ready for the needles or hook of a discerning maker. It feels different because it is. Each skein carries the subtle, unique variations that only come from true artisanal craftsmanship. No two are ever precisely the same, ensuring your creation is a genuine original.
For projects that require more than just function. For heirlooms that begin the day they’re cast on. For the simple, profound pleasure of creating something beautiful with your own two hands.
