Welcome!

  Hello! You probably want to know a little bit about the people behind the machinery, so here’s some tidbits about me. I’m Laura and I’ve always loved getting my fingers into fibers and have dabbled in various fibercrafts over the years. I even once went through a phase while living in an apartment in a city where I really wanted a lamb, but good sense prevailed and I stuck with cats and dogs for pets. Recently one of my cousins started a sheep farm, and it got me to thinking about how my life could incorporate my love of fibers into a way to earn an income and control my own schedule which is how I’ve ended up with a carding machine in my garage instead of my car! 

As the mill opens, I’ll be a one-woman show around here for a few months. But I have the support of my nearby family – one of the wonderful benefits of moving “back home” after a lifetime of residing several states away. My brother Andy in particular is essential for machine maintenance – he knows motors and electrical phasing and bushings vs bearings and I am grateful. I am planning to hire full time help once we get into the swing of things – so if you’re in the Poconos and want to work in a mill, be sure to check back in a few months for a job advert.
