Show Notes
11:11 designer Logan is co-hosting this week’s Millcast to share the story behind this year’s Knit Along pattern — from where the idea began to all the thoughtful details. Plus, check out our newest Mill Blend Lite — a truly one-of-a-kind yarn spun from carefully saved mill remnants. This time, we made two beautifully coordinating neutrals: a creamy white and a rich, heathered gray.

Join us on the Millcast this week for a look around the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival, our Knit Along meet-up, and a few of our favorite festival moments! Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by and said hi!
We have something spooky in store for you this week!🧙🏻♀️ Peggy’s back from Scotland, and we’re enjoying the cooler weather and watching the leaves change here in Vermont. Join us for a peek behind-the-scenes as Junction Fiber Mill prepares for the upcoming fiber festivals!
The weather’s getting cooler, but we thought we’d brighten things up with Hunting Season Orange and Pink. Both of these fluorescent fibers are sure to get you seen from afar, whether you’re out in the woods, or at the fiber festivals!
