Fully Loaded
I'm writing this morning fresh from a magical weekend at the mill. While we're just starting to feel teasing hints of spring in NYC, the past few days were such a wonderful reminder of the reasons I love Winter. Journeying to Harrisville, which has recently been blanketed with several layers of snow, was like being transported to an ethereal winter fantasy land. I didn't think the place could get any more beautiful... but then again, they continue to surprise me up there.
The trip coincided with the long-awaited conclusion of a large production run of Shelter. So the best news of the week is that, after some rather turbulent months of being in a supply and demand tail-chase, our warehouse stock is now fully loaded! If you've had trouble in the past weeks getting your hands on a specific color, they've finally all arrived, so have at it!

Having allowed myself some extra time for photography on this visit, I finally got the chance to do something I've been scheming since the very beginning: an official photo essay of the yarn-making process, from dyed wool to finished yarn.
In celebration of our freshly completed production run, I've decided to do a special multi-part blog series this week on what happens behind the scenes at the mill. Seeing yarn being made is such a magical and educational experience. It's a process I think needs to be shared, as best as possible, and since we can't all meet there for a walk through the mill together, I'm hoping to bring you the next best thing. This week I'll take you on a virtual tour-in-photographs of the rich processes that go on every day in a bona fide American woolen mill.
So buckle up, the ride begins tomorrow morning.

The colors of your Shelter are so beautiful! The purple, especially, catches my eye… even though I’m not a purple person. Maybe in tweed I am ;-)
