Thanks you guys for a great show and Peggy; I’ve been a button lover for quite some time and appreciated your chat with this button woman and look forward to her auction 😃👏🏼🦃🎉

Love this episode. My best childhood memories is my Aunt. She worked in a button factory and had a huge collection. My job when with her was to sort the buttons and work the treddle on her sewing machine while she sewed. Thank you for the memory ❤

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your time with your families! 🦃 🩵💚🏘🧶

Such an interesting interview, would love to hear more and see more buttons ❤

14:17 let's answer that question with a quote "she wore a crown and came down in a bubble Doug"

Went to a tour for women at Williamsburg with a friend, and the tour guide (in character) chastised us for not bringing handwork because you are always supposed to keep your hands busy. I almost always have something to do in meetings

What about selling the clean wool to hand spinners? We can hand process the wool to get rid of the VM. Just a thought.

Amanda ~ you look amazing in your Lindal Sweater! The fit is beautiful and the color is so happy! Love Peg's sweater too - the eyelets along the raglan are really sweet.

I had no plans of going to the fiber festival this year for a few personal reasons but there I was in bed on Saturday evening scrolling through TikTok when y/all came across my fyp. I thought I had to go if only to see these yarns in person so off I went Sunday morning. I'm glad I did because that's how I learned about the podcast and I've been binge watching it since.

Love your millcasts!! And love your yarn. Was so happy to purchase some in person at Rhinebeck💜💜!!

Love the wicked set! I am old enough to have seen Wicked on Broadway when it came out😃. Ordered two sets - one for my bestie and one for me. Really enjoy the podcasts.

The personal trainer pays off! Been doing this for 8 months. GO FOR IT!

You both are such a joy to watch and listen to, and I am learning so much. Amanda, 2 vest designs I love and hope to knit one day are both by Lucía Ruiz de Aguirre. One is called Drax, and the other Rahisi Vest.

Hi ladies! I recently found your channel and subscribed! I've been binge watching back videos the last couple of days. What a great place to come be surrounded by beautiful people and yarn and to get away from the craziness in the world,if only for just a while! You both do absolutely gorgeous work! Ìm in northern lower Michigan, but have visited Vermont a few times in my life. What a beautiful little corner of the world! I'm both a knitter and crocheter .

A wonderful episode. I enjoyed your adventures. The green yarn for Wicked is gorgeous!! Have a wonderful rest of your week. 😁

Love your stories!

Peg…What sweater are you wearing? I love the raglan shaping

I’d rip and use a smaller needle….

Awww peg what a story that happened to me with Apple Pay when we moved. Guys … please keep the farm info coming I love it ! Can’t stay long have to go order that yarn ! lol

You could rip out the sweater just past the last increase maybe and continue from there? Also on the hat you could add a stripe below the crown decreases and graft the crown back on. You have to like kitchenering to opt for this idea!

Love the stories and your dynamic energy. Thanks for millcasting!!

Great podcast, great stories. Thank you. 🇬🇧

One day…l shall work out how I can get to one of your retreats! Vermont has been on my bucket list forever, and your retreat is just another great reason to come!

Watching on November 19, 2024. I went back to the beginning to watch all your episodes.

What about selling it to spinner with the knowledge of the VM? If the price is right I think you might get buyers.

Love your podcast every single one, especially the story packed episodes!!!!!❤❤❤❤ Kathy

There are 2 gals who run the Nome Schoolhouse and Bear Creek Felting company in North Dakota. Their KZbin channel is called "EweTube". They have a couple videos demonstrating a machine they have which makes sheets of felt. Also I agree with some other commenters who asked if the fiber is nice enough to sell to hand spinners, either natural or dyed in some exclusive Junction Fiber Mill colors (which should make some lovely fractal spun yarn).

The best

Such funny stories. I had a similar experience with a friend driving her EV from Montreal to Brattleboro. Wasted hours and suffered from range anxiety too and she even did what you talked about and stopped someone else’s charge thinking if there were two adaptors two cars could charge. Unfortunately the young man whose charging she stopped was not as nice as you! Tempted to make a Mussleburgh hat now.

I always look forward to watching the Mill Cast when I get home from work on Tuesdays. I've made a few Musselburgh hats, and after using the called for cast on on my first one, I now just cast on the 8 stitches and use the tail to sew up the hole. I don't think it's noticeable and if it is I just make that side the inside of the hat.

Your stories made me smile.

You two are the best.

I got my surprise box! The pattern looks very intriguing

I went to Wicked last night through the Prime earlier release. On the way home I thought I can’t believe no one has done a yarn release. Thanks for reading my mind!❤ I think I’ll make a musselburgh hat out of it!

As soon as I saw your son-in-law's sweater-in-progress, I thought what a beautiful capelet that would make!

Forgot to mention... I love my Solstice Box! I peeked at color 1, but refrained from peeking at the other colors.

Would you consider selling unspun Rambouillet to hand spinners? It seems like a waste for it to become insulation. I would also be interested in buying top or roving from the mill to spin myself, if you ever make that available.

Love listening to all that is going on. You make my tuesday morning the best as I sit and grade artwork listening to you two.

I ended up adding more length to my finished musselburgh as well- worth the extra time and effort! Instead of undoing the crown, I cut into the body of the hat, knit another inch or so, then grafted the two pieces back together.

Feed the son in law lots of donuts.

Hi Beautiful Ladies! I'm actually in the midst of my first Musselburgh hat myself (and I'm a very novice knitter) - What type of yarn are you ladies using? Mine is Fingering and it seems too 'light'. Love the Mill-cast - so happy I found you! 🥰

On the hat Peg made - can you tell me which yarn for the purple? Would like to order loved the color made up in that hat - Thx

Makes you glad you don’t have an EV. Way too many problems and thinking. It is fun to just get in the car and go and not have to think any more about it. Some year they will make batteries that last WAY longer!

I just finished up two hats with Pict Wool- Hancock Rock Socks - tri-color Jacob Wool. It was great yarn to knit up.. Now I'll pair my leftovers with some leftover Making Tracks for a Seaglass Hat. My recommendation for fiber that you can't spin.. use it in wool pellets.. great fertilizer for the garden.. My neighbors at Again and Again Farm in Tamworth NH have a wool pellet making machine. I used it in my garden this year. It is great to help maintain moisture in the garden.. and it's supposed to help with slugs.. Keep up the good work.. love the mill casts.

Good to see you’re still laughing despite the hiccups! Can you do anything with the Rambouillet for hand spinners or felt artists? Or make JFM dryer balls or batting? I’m sure you’ll find a good use. Yarn Hero has some very cool dyed wool fabric/material that is partially felted that they sell. Your Fibershed probably has a million ideas too. Curious to hear what you decide. Good luck with the Dustland. Hopefully it fits - it’s magnificent! Since you’re taking the time to make sure it fits and are willing to frog, maybe even consider a partial block before the fitting.

We were in Boston, my birthday is May - Wicked was coming into Boston in May but tickets on sale the November (or Oct) before, I said to my husband, for my birthday - get us tickets to Wicked and he hopped on it - was fantastic, a great memory)he is gone now)❤. My girlfriends and I are hitting the movie - this was the Oct 2003 memory !! Great silk story, our son went to Dartmouth so, know the area!!

My only car is an EV, so I could relate....gotta watch the range miles! They're worth it though. Love your warmth and authenticity and creativity, not to mention the gorgeous yarn. I've noticed it being mentioned several times on knitting podcasts....you're getting famous!

I would ask them if they like it loose, then RIP it out. I recently forged an entire sweater!

Loved the stories ❤ Peg that story with the yarn is too funny crazy 😂 but so glad it worked out. You never know. Love the Wicked Yarns.

Received my Solstice box yesterday and have to admit that I looked at all the colors. Sooo excited to have this in my queue. Thanks for the beautiful work from spinning to designing to packing!!
