In Western New York, Genesee Valley Woolworks turns regionally sourced sheep fleece into small-batch rug yarn, weaving kits, and hardwood peg looms. The working fiber mill handles each batch in-house—from skirting and washing through carding, spinning, and finishing—on traditional Belfast equipment. By processing wool from New York farms, including some in the NY Grown & Certified program, the company supports the region’s farmers and rebuilding domestic fiber infrastructure.
