About Skiff

Skiff Vintage Patterns was started up at the beginning of 2009. Born out of a passion for the fashions of the 1940s and 1950s, I combined it with my die-hard love of knitting.

**APOLOGIES, THERE SEEMS TO BE A SPORADIC ERROR WITH THE SHOPPING CART - I’m working on fixing it, but meanwhile if you have difficulties checking out, please contact me and I will arrange the order for you.**

Marriner's Mill was originally at Greengates in Keighley. Mariner B. & W. had it's own brass band which was formed in the 1840's. Owned by Edward D.A. Marriner of Greengates Mill, Keighley who was also a magistrate, councillor and, in 1885, Mayor of Keighley. There was a family feud between Benjamin's two sons, Edward & William, which led to a division of the mill.
