It’s a long journey from raw fiber to finished product, and there are a lot of options along the way. We hope that sharing pictures of the various processes will let you see that although it is mechanized, this is still very hands-on work!
We track and document each order through every step to make sure we get it right – you will see in some of these pictures the paper that follows the fiber from beginning to end.
Here’s a quick summary of the path your fiber will take (depending on your choices):
