What's new?
Just a few hundred miles from the Argentine coast lies the Falkland Islands (all 720 of them). Initially, the land was covered with cattle to provision trade ships that stopped en route to Cape Horn. The cattle were soon replaced with sheep, and for the past 150 years ,the Falkland Islands has been producing some of the finest Merino wool on the planet —our roving measures just 18.5 microns.
We don't carry many yarns, but we love the ones that we do.

Twisted Tales
By Linda N. Cortright
Filled with spectacular photos and unusual escapades, Wild Fibers editor Linda Cortright goes behind the scenes with stories that are both terrifying and comical—a common pattern throughout many of her travels. Cortright narrowly escapes a devastating earthquake in Tibet, being "stabbed" (by a child!) in Jordan, and a faulty escape route in Afghanistan are just the beginning.
The Eye of Fiber
By Linda N. Cortright
Nearly every sheep or goat in America has a passport from somewhere else. The Eye of Fiber provides a fascinating overview of their history and cultural significance from the desert of Namibia to the mountains in Romania. This is a coffee table must for anyone who interested in natural fibers.
