MONTANA FIBER AND WOOL MILL
Going to the Sun Fiber Mill & SunSpun Yarns TM are located in the beautiful Flathead Valley in Kalispell, Montana. We have named our custom woolen mill after the well known Glacier National Park road that winds steeply up and over its wild and rugged mountains.

We can process low lanolin sheep wool and alpaca, llama, cashmere, buffalo, yak, qiviut, mohair, & pet hair from the raw state to finished luxury yarn.
Our cottage mill provides personal customer service. We will help you select the best processing choices for value added marketing based on your fiber's qualities. We go beyond the ordinary standard processing. We help you decide what your family farm can offer as finished products for personal use or as retail sales. We share our marketing skills to help further your herd profit. Make the most out of your fiber! montanamill@gmail.com
We have the ability to spin up to an 8 inch staple length from primative sheep breeds such as Icelandic, Shetland, or Navajo Churro without cutting.
We also offer special processing. We can de-hair your dual coated livestock by separating the outer hair from the downey undercoat.
Let Us Spin and Weave for You !
We can help you get a higher yield from each clip by using your "lesser quality" wool to be spun into a bulky type yarn. 2nds (hip, shoulder, lower neck) & "GOOD" 3rds (apron, britch, upper leg) from alpaca/llama can be spun into our Core-Spun Yarns as another great product.
We can change your Core-Spun Yarn into beautiful loom woven rugs, table runners, place mats, 16x16 or 24x24 pillows with a suede back. We offer to knit the Avalanche Hat for you from your own core spun yarn for $14.00 per hat. Hand knitted Avalanche Hat & Bulky Vest can be seen below.
Suri makes beautiful bulky knitted garments and very soft woven articles. We have 4 local artists to design for you! Please call for prices at 406-756-6772.
