Milli Abrams, a knitter from Pittenweem, is set to become the smallest woman to participate in the World's Toughest Row 2025. Standing at 4 feet 11 inches, she will join a team of four women in the 3,000-mile rowing challenge across the Atlantic Ocean. The race begins in December and starts from the Canary Islands, concluding in Antigua. Participants face extreme conditions, including sleep deprivation and physical exhaustion, as they row continuously in shifts. Abrams, who runs a yarn business, has been training intensively for the challenge and aims to inspire others to pursue their dreams, regardless of size or background.

Milli Abrams, founder of Tribe Yarns, is preparing for a solo 3,000-mile row across the Atlantic as part of the World's Toughest Row, scheduled for December 2025. Standing at five feet tall, she will be the shortest and lightest person to have rowed across an ocean. Abrams will celebrate her 50th birthday at sea on January 31, 2026, becoming the fourth woman in her 50s to complete this challenge. Her journey will raise funds for The 2 Minute Foundation and Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS). She has named her boat "Knitannia," reflecting her passion for knitting. Abrams previously embarked on a global sailing adventure in 2010 with her family.
