About Shenandoah Fiber
Located in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, Shenandoah Fiber is a solar-powered private mill that transforms alpaca, wool, and exotic fibers into premium yarn, roving, and felt. They tenderly process each lot from their own alpaca herd, ensuring every skein traces back to the individual animal that produced the fiber. The mill uses environmentally-safe practices and offers 16 natural colors plus dozens of dyed Merino options. Their flat-rate pricing covers all processing steps from sorting through skein winding.
