One of Huddersfield’s favourite mill sales is back so Huddersfield shoppers can grab some pre-Christmas bargains.

Slaithwaite-based Spectrum Yarns makes luxury knitwear and is having a sale next weekend on Saturday, November 11, with prices reduced by up to 80% – its final sale this year.

Spectrum makes lambswool and merino knitwear for major corporate names under its tradename Glenbrae (https://glenbrae.com/).

The company is also one of the main suppliers of knitting wool in the UK which it sells via its Stylecraft tradename in 900 retail outlets nationwide.

Many of the main social media influencers in knitting and crochet use and endorse Stylecraft due to its high quality with many writing blogs on the Stylecraft website https://www.stylecraft-yarns.co.uk/

The sale will be held at Spectrum Yarns for just two hours from 10am to 12noon at its huge landmark mill on New Street opposite Colne Valley Leisure Centre. There will be a two-minute silence at 11am.

There is a special half-hour from 9.30am to 10am reserved just for wheelchair users or people with any other disabilities and those with pushchairs as the mill sale is usually very busy.

The items will include slight seconds along with discontinued ranges.

To keep the costs so low and queues to a minimum all transactions below £45 must be cash although debit and credit cards can be used for amounts above that.

Operations director Danielle Brown said: “This sale will feature some of our best ever discounts. We are intensely proud of our Yorkshire heritage, especially the fact we are based in Slaithwaite, so when we have some great offers we want local people to benefit.

“These offers are only for people who come to the mill and are not available online.”

Spectrum Yarns was set up by Danielle’s father, Richard Brown, in the mid-1980s and he is the managing director. The company has a workforce of around 115 and is continuing to invest heavily in its Slaithwaite mill.
