This week on the Millcast, we’re reporting to you live from the Vermont Sheep & Wool Festival! We kick off with a recap of Millapalooza before taking you behind the scenes for both days of VTSW. We introduce the incredibly talented Vermont designers tabling at the festival, and show off some of their designs with our yarn. We also show off our limited edition Making Tracks DK Smuggler’s Notch, available today at 10am for those of you who couldn’t make it in person to snag a skein. We wrap up with a reminder of our upcoming events, including New York Sheep & Wool on Oct 18-19.
