Emi's first trip to the mill...chunky yarn back in stock!

We are very pleased to have Emi staying with us at Toft at the moment to complete a three week internship in all things alpaca. Admittedly she has had a couple of dull mornings this week...with mountains of yarn labelling to be done! But most of the time she has been getting stuck in and enjoying getting to grips with alpacas and the processing of their fibre. We have done a trip to the mill and packed the truck to the rafters to get is back to base. We picked up two gorgeous new grey batches- a dk charcoal and a chunky Heather. For the rest of the week Emi will do fleece sorting, yarn categorising, and even some hand dyeing...not a filing cabinet in sight!

If you are interested in doing work experience with us don't hesitate to get in touch.

Unlike woven fabric, knitted fabric consists entirely of horizontal parallel courses of yarn. The courses are joined to each other by interlocking loops in which a short loop of one course of yarn is wrapped over the bight of another course fuskpolo järbo
