Our Partners
We partner with exceptional small-scale mills that transform our locally sourced raw wool into yarn through a thoughtful, hands-on process. These dedicated micro mills do more than just process wool — they support local farmers, uplift small producers, and fuel thriving artisan communities. Their work prioritizes quality, sustainability, and the unique beauty of every wool batch, honoring the fiber’s natural story. From the mills, our yarn is entrusted to skilled weavers who carry on the timeless craft of handweaving, helping keep American textile traditions alive and well.
The Wool Mill
Belgrade Montana
Chris and LaVonne live and work on 40 acres of family land purchased in 1985 from his parents in the beautiful Gallatin Valley and just 8 miles North of the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport.
LaVonne has raised sheep for over 30 years and worked at the previous wool mill location for 4 years before deciding to take ownership in 2018. The equipment was for sale for as long as she worked there, it just took her a while to realize it really needed to stay right here in the Gallatin Valley.
That experience, along with the support, help and experience of her other "mill family members" is just the right combination to prepare our lovely wool just the way we want it.
Battenkill Fibers
Greenwich New York
Mary Jeanne Packer founded Battenkill Fibers Carding & Spinning Mill in 2009 to provide value-added, custom carding and spinning services for fiber farms and makers; and to manufacture yarn and fiber products for wholesale and retail markets. The mill produces 100-150 lbs of artisan quality natural-colored and dyed semi-worsted yarn daily using refurbished traditional milling machinery.
Battenkill Fibers embraces and respects the nature, history and culture of their place on the land in the Hudson Valley; and they strive to sustain this rural heritage for future generations. Battenkill furnishes access to local processing for farmers, unique materials for hand crafters, and authentic experiences for visitors to the region and school groups.
Mary Jeanne is a wealth of knowledge and is a true pioneer in the wool industry.
Lilly Marsh Studio
Glens Falls New York
Lilly Marsh Studios is the creative work of Lilly Marsh, whose decades-long journey through fiber arts spans sheep farming, weaving, sculpture, academic research, and textile production. What began with a search for quality wool yarn led to a deep engagement with the full fiber process—spinning, weaving, and exhibiting in juried galleries across the U.S., Canada, and beyond.
Lilly holds a PhD in American Studies from Purdue University, where her research focused on the cultural history of hand knitting in North America. Her published work includes a biography of knitting icon Elizabeth Zimmermann and contributions to Stitching the Self: Identity and the Needlearts (Bloomsbury, 2020).
Now based in New York’s Upper Hudson region, Lilly is immersed in a vibrant local fiber community. As a founding member of the Hudson Valley Textile Project, she is committed to building a stronger regional textile economy through collaboration with farmers, processors, and fellow artisans. Her studio work is rooted in that mission—creating textiles that are informed by history, driven by craft, and grounded in place.
We cant praise her enough for her brilliant craftsmanship and dedication to building this vibrant wool collaboration.
Mountain Meadow Wool Mill
Buffalo Wyoming
Mountain Meadow is a spinning mill set below the Big Horn Mountains on the Western Plains of Wyoming. It is a family operated mill, owned by Karen Hostetler and her son, Ben, and dedicated to supporting local ranchers and raising awareness about ranching culture in the American West. Mountain Meadow is committed to revitalizing the American wool industry through eco-friendly operations and fair prices for ranchers.
In 2002, Karen Hostetler and her business partner embarked on a journey to preserve and sustain the ranches of the Great American West. In 2007, Mountain Meadow Wool Mill opened their doors as a full service mill that offered premium prices for wool from local ranches.
We are so lucky to have Mountain Meadow in our back yard.
Thirteen Mile Lamb + Wool
Belgrade Montana
Thirteen Mile brings us certified organic lamb and wool from a flock of 80 sheep in southwestern Montana. Becky supplies us with beautiful well tended fleece as well as providing our valley with grassfed lamb, yarns, and other wool products.
Care for the land, her animals (both meat and fiber), and her neighbors (both wild and human), drive this work-in-progress.
Those who have followed our site for a long time know that predator friendly ranching, renewable energy, and other practices on the land and in the mill reflect our hopes of learning to "farm as if nature matters"*.
Becky’s vision aligns so well with our own - we knew this would be a great fit.
