This week on the Millcast, we kick off with what we’ve been up to recently, including restorative visits with friends and world fairs! We discuss the current drought affecting our region and its impact on how we care for our sheep. We show off this week’s special release, inspired by an upcoming album, Making Tracks LITE Showgirl! We also feature a brand new pattern by Ona Woldten, the Happy Sleepy, before jumping into the mill tour. We wrap up with KAL progress updates, a sneak peek at next week’s release, and a reminder that Vermont Sheep and Wool is October 4th and 5th!
