Have you checked out our rather beautiful new Shade Cards yet? 😍

Made by hand here at our Mill, they are not only a vital tool to help you pick your perfect colour, but they are a thing of beauty in themselves ❤️⚙️❤️

You'll find them up on the website 😃

Ooh, I love a bit of tops-spinning experimentation! I did a whole class on it for the @jarbontextiles.bsky.social Virtual Open Weekend a couple of years ago. youtu.be/XOUMRkmxTPY?...
