About Yarn Mill

Yarn Mill is the result of a collaboration between  three friends Russell, Paul and Melanie who share a love of all things knitted - Garments, Accessories, Soft Furnishings etc.

Each are passionate about quality, authenticity, tradition and pushing the boundaries of yarn, stitch development, texture, embellishment and shape.

Together they are Yarn Mill.

The name derives from Russell’s ancestral links to the West Yorkshire woollen mills  and Paul’s studio base at his family home, a renovated Devon water mill that dates back to the Doomsday Book.

Each of the team are motivated by the desire to create the highest quality, original pieces possible with the minimum impact on the environment. This is not a response to any current fashion trend - rather a recognition of the need for something more personal, individual and lasting.

There is no compromise on the quality of the natural raw materials used - merino wool, alpaca, silk, and linen. These combined with traditional manufacturing techniques result in timeless, original and ultimately desirable pieces.

All the pieces offered here are unique to Yarn Mill. Each is designed and knitted in house by one or all three of us and are not available anywhere else.
