Being Ewethful Episode 37 Alpaca Shearing Pygora Goats and Yarn

In this Episode I share all about owning a wool mill, making yarn for a living, knitting, handspinning, the fiber arts and even the fiber animals that get us here. There are videos from inside the wool mill, plus a farm tour of our fiber farm, and I talk all about the things I am currently making. In this episode some of my adventures from a wool buy in Eastern Oregon to a trip to the McKenzie River. There is also a wool talk segment where I get in it talking about Pygora sheep. Plus of course the projects I am working on and what’s being made at the mill.

My Mission at Ewethful:
My mission at Ewethful Fiber Mill is to fill making hands with small batch American grown yarns and fibers. We strive to produce lightly processed products that maintain their character, have low environmental impact and tell the stories of the animals and shepherds from whence they came.
