Hoof-to-Hanger
Fiber Processing Mill
Our Hoof-to-Hanger Fiber Mill operates five days a week, right here in Bridgman, MI. We process animal fibers from local and national pastures from its raw state to completed yarn, and anywhere in between. Sheep, alpaca, llama, yak, pygora, and blended yarns are all made here in a variety of weights, colors, textures, and blends. Much of the yarn output is sold at The Sandpiper, along with garments and other products made from these beautiful, high-quality fibers. Shop our yarn below.
At Hoof-to-Hanger every stage of fiber processing is conducted by hand. We process your fiber with attention to detail. Your fleeces are not dumped into a large common batch for machine processing. When your sheep exude lanolin, we are up to our elbows in grease; when your alpaca roll in the dirt, we are covered in dust. Our intimate relationship with your fiber results in exceptionally high-quality finished fiber products.
We include a specific market-value analysis on all finished fiber processing to give you a realistic market value for your fiber products. These market analyses are based on conservative small-town, small-shop values. In larger urban areas, larger shops, popular festivals and online, your market values will be higher.
