We apologize for our lack of communication with everyone lately, but we are pleased to report that with some help and dedication from our friend Jason from Stonehedge Fiber Mill and the team work of our family and friends, we have now been processing our fibers on our new machines!  So far we processed sheep, alpaca, angora, mohair, and even dog!  Along the way we've made roving, batts, yarn, and memories!  We are all but ready to start accepting fibers as we get the mill rolling along!
