The Midwest Fiber Pool was started in the 1990’s by a group of fiber enthusiasts. The original goal was to offer camelid farms the opportunity to have their fleeces put into yarn at a reasonable cost. Pooling the fleeces together by color and quality allowed more poundage to be processed by the mill at one time. The more poundage processed at one time, the lower the cost. In 1999 Lee Ann King and Cherreen Thompson took over the management of the Midwest Fiber Pool. We are now known as the Midwest Fiber Company. We are located in NW Ohio, near Michigan and Indiana. The mission of the Midwest Fiber Company is to promote the use of llama and alpaca fiber. Our vision is to be the bridge that connects fiber producers and consumers in the marketplace. We believe in supporting the USA camelid
farmer and also USA fiber processing mills. In the past
five years many new processing mills have started up all over the
country. It is no longer necessary to accumulate 50 pounds
or more of wool before it can be processed into yarn.
Please see our list of recommended
mills. You will find our fleeces, rovings, batts and
yarn to be of the finest quality; grown and milled in the
USA. MWFC will set up a vendor booth at several locations in Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana this year. We offer a consignment service for handcrafters. We enjoy offering unique handcrafted items from American fiber artists. Our commission is only 20%. |
