Mocha's Fiber Connection is the dream of two friends and their fiber farms. Ruth Lack of Too Cute Llamas and Kelly Radding of TuckerWoods Farm opened the shop as a way to feature the products from their fiber animals. They raise llamas, pygora goats, angora goats, cashgora goats, and various sheep.
Our Philosophy:
We love the natural fibers our animals provide us. They are all unique and we enjoy spinning, dyeing, needlefelting and knitting with them. We are striving to find companies whose dedication to quality and unique offerings are equal to our own. We are proud to offer our customers products from other small family companies & farms like our own and
companies who foster sustainable, fair trade throughout the world.
What We Offer:
In addition to the yarns and rovings from our own animals, we also stock many commercial yarns such as Louet, Peace Fleece, Southwest Trading Company and Kraemer Yarns as well as Brittany knitting needles, Skacel Turbo Lace needles and other notions. See our products page for a more complete listing and description.
We carry needlefelting supplies and kits, spinning wheels, drop spindles and rovings for spinners and needlefelters.
We have a limited supply of handspun yarns. Stop in to see our selection. Click here to see our schedule of knitting, spinning, needlefelting & dyeing classes.
