Which Witch? Halloween Tops – Nanny Ogg
Introducing our 2024 Halloween tops – and this year we’re inspired by all things witchy! Pick from our mini-collection of tops, created in limited batches, whether you’re into local Devon fibre, or fibre with a hint of alpaca softness. Which witch will you choose?
During the spooky season all our slightly scary yarns and tops come out to play! All the fibre in the mill that is a little bit monstrous, (maybe it is a bit like Frankenstein’s monster or a Scarecrow missing an arm) is celebrated for exactly what it is. The fibre may not be perfect, but it is still beautiful.
Sometimes it is just a shade wrong like a creepy doppelganger who almost passes for the original, and sometimes it might be a little bit wobbly like an ectoplasm spewing ghost! We love thinking of fun new themes each year based off our favourite Halloween movies and characters and we hope you enjoy them too! All Halloween specials are limited edition one-offs as they are made from faulty or leftover products in an effort to minimise waste at the mill.
This year we’ve named everything after some of our favourite witches from screen, stage and page – witches are such versatile characters that they fit into so many genres! Whether you’re into classic soap operas, beloved YA literature, broadway musicals, or Disney films, hopefully you’ll find something here to love!
You can’t beat a subtle but complex neutral, and this mix of Fawn, browns and creams is just heavenly. We think it will make the most beautifully wearable garments and accessories. Nanny Ogg, from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series, is known for her practical approach to magic and her no-nonsense attitude. We think she’d approve of this shade we’ve named in her honour.
