When I visited Isabel and Nick at their mill recently, I came home full of inspiration for giving things a go, taking chances and really investing wholeheartedly in something. Fueled with romantic notions of creating beautiful yarn in our backyard, I suggested to Mr Myrtle that we might buy a mini-mill. Strangely, he wasn’t keen.

So, I resolved to make the most of the scrummy yarn that Isabel and Nick create at Great Ocean Road Mill and set about to design a hat that would be warm, fun, and ready for any adventure. That hat was Bobby; a super-soft, deliciously-toasty, bobbly hat.

This week I’m showing you my hat and having a lovely long chat with Isabel and Nick from Great Ocean Road Mill. They give us a mill tour and talk us through the process of making yarn and then we sit down to hear all about their story. They’re completely delightful and truly making magic.
