This week we cover a lot on the Millcast! We kick off with what we’re wearing and what we did this weekend before announcing that Seconds Surprise Bags are coming back this Tuesday at 10am ET. Also dropping this Tuesday is our new line of solids, called Roots - we’ll have several DK weight colors available! We also share our latest bundle, made specificaly for the Lindal Turritella with both Making Tracks and Roots colorways. Millapalooza is coming back for 2025, and tickets will be available February 18th. Peggy also interviews Amanda Brown, Assistant Professor of Design at Parsons School of Design and knitwear designer, who shares how she got started designing knitwear, what it’s like working at Parsons, and much more! We wrap up with a reminder of our upcoming events, the New England Farm & Fiber Festival on Sunday, February 2nd from 11am-5pm and our February Open House on Saturday, February 15th from 10am-1pm.
