Our Mission
Since 1975, our family's mission has been to transform pieces of mill history into a fun and functional treasures.
As the idea of “reduce, reuse and recycle” has become a part of our culture, bobbins and other textile artifacts have lent themselves to enhancing our style and decor. Milling Around has up-cycled forgotten pieces of our past into charming candlesticks, nostalgic jump ropes, as well as intriguing pens and kaleidoscopes. As our matriarch once said, “Bobbins are seasoned workers in dignified retirement.”
