A yarn shop in Eaglesham, just south of Glasgow

We opened The Orry Mill to be the yarn shop we wanted to walk into: natural fibres, colours that work beside each other, and help and advice on the project you're making.

Seven years on we have our own own yarn, a growing set of patterns named after places near the shop, and our online Yarn School for anyone starting from scratch.

Sixteen shades, picked off the west coast.

Sixteen shades, one palette


Our own merino DK, spun and dyed in Yorkshire in sixteen colours we picked off the west coast: Luskentyre, Haar, Fenwick Moor. Smooth enough that cables and moss stitch stay crisp.

Every pattern has a place


Each Orry pattern is named for somewhere within an hour of the shop. Darvel for its weaving valley, Alloway for Burns. The stitch usually has something to do with the story.
