DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE FIBER? I LOVE LOVE LOVE alpaca. It has no Lanolin (I am allergic) which means I can handle and process the fiber with out issue. Plus I have 3 of the fuzzy butts in my pasture.

WHAT FIBER ANIMALS DO YOU HAVE? DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE? I have 3 alpacas and yes I have a favorite (Maxi) I also have 4 rescue goats and a bunch of stupid chickens. Plus two dogs and 1 husband who supports me through it all!

Get to Know us...Fiberside Chats

My husband and I started Windsor Farms Rabbitry and Yarns in the 1980’s in Windsor, Maine. In 1998 we moved the whole family and all our critters from coast to coast and landed in Oregon.

First came spinning, then knitting, dyeing, blending with other fibers, making yarns for sale, and having finished goods ready to wear. I enjoy the fact that I can wear an angora hat and scarf to the barn and the animal that produced the fiber to make them is jumping around wanting to be fed.
