Battenkill Fibers Carding and Spinning Mill provides value-added, custom carding and spinning services for fiber farms and others; and manufactures yarn and fiber products for wholesale and retail markets. We produce artisan quality natural-colored and dyed yarn using traditional semi-worsted milling machinery. We furnish access to local processing for farmers, unique materials for handcrafters, and authentic experiences for visitors to the region. 

Season And Hours Open

Open year round M-F 8:30 am - 4:00 pm. Summer Saturdays 9 am - 1 pm. Other times by appointment. School, 4H, and other community group tours welcome. Call 518 692 2700 to make arrangements.

What Is Distinctive And Authentic To The Character Of The Region

The Southern Adirondack Region boosts a number of sheep, alpaca, llama, and angora goat (they make mohair) farms, known for their high quality fleece production. Battenkill Fibers pays a fair price for fibers sourced from these family-owned farms. We insure equitable evaluation of fiber quality, we offer diverse employment opportunities, and we make environmentally responsible choices in all aspects of our procurement, processing and distribution.
