We combine the best kid mohair with the finest wool in natural colors to produce a range of subtle natural colors. Fibers for this yarn are GREENSPUN using vegetable based soaps and oils in the processing and then washed gently to preserve the natural sheen and resilience.
We’ve spun a very special single ply bulky weight 100% Merino Wool yarn! This knits up as quick as a wink and is ideal for last minute handmade gifts.

We want to offer a hearty thank you to all of the folks who visited the Mill over the past couple of weeks for the I-91 Shop Hop. We really enjoyed meeting new friends, offering them tours of the Production Floor and sharing this new pattern. We’d like to introduce you to our latest FREE pattern: the Stash Buster Crochet Hat designed by Maureen.
There was a distinct bite to the air this morning as we arrived at the Mill and that tells us that Fall is coming and our festival season is near! We imagine that very soon local nurseries will be filling up with mums and folks will start craving pumpkin spice in their coffee. We are hard at work spinning up a storm of fresh skeins so that we and some of your favorite fiber producers and indie dyers will have fresh inventory to share with you in the coming months.

When the snow lies deep in Vermont, our rose bushes lie dormant waiting for longer days and warmer temperatures to generate new growth. As crafters, we can accelerate that timeline by adding beautiful blossoms to our hand knits that will keep us comfortably warm until spring’s return. By alternating main and contrast colors, you’ll have sufficient yardage for two hats, giving you and your sweetheart heartwarming bouquets that look just freshly picked all winter long.

This classic pattern was one of the Spinnery’s first, originally published in the 1980’s. It has been warming toes for decades. In celebration of our 40th anniversary, we’ve updated it to include expanded sizing that can work for the entire family, and we’ve made the instructions a bit more approachable for less experienced knitters. We are confident that these socks will be as hardwearing and hard working as our scrappy cooperative.

The Green Mountain Spinnery is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, and to mark the occasion we have crafted a slouchy cap pattern with sizing for everyone who comes through our doors. This hat features a classic three-color slipped stitch pattern called the oak stitch which will stand the test of time, just as our Mill has. The pattern is perfect for newer knitters since it requires no decreases for a perfect fit!

Let it embrace you in the cool tones of a Vermont Winter and the warmth of a hearth.
