We talked to the Mill wondering what yarn would best suit Brigadier 88? |
This is the sample skeins that MrB choose to give a whirl! |
Hoping this yarn will make up a nice pair of cranked- out wool socks! But if it is cranky we may have to pass it along to a hand-knitter! |
The second Mill that we visited was Belfast Mini Mills! We had a really good time here talking to Hazel, Linda and Mom ( not sure of her name, but a lovely lady) We had a tour of the mill and stopped and shopped for some yarn of course, and had an awesome little lunch at their Tea House!
Belfast Mini Mills has a Mill Store, Tea Room and Textile Processing Mill. What a wonderful family operation!! |
I bought 4 skeins of yarn to have MrB make me one or two special pairs of socks! |
I bought 2 grey skeins and 2 purple skeins. This is Belfast Mini Mills Speciality Sock Yarn, 80% superwash wool/20% Nylon. |
