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.

Make the most out of your fiber!  montanamill@gmail.com

We have the ability to spin up to an 6  inch staple length from primative sheep breeds such as Icelandic, Shetland, or Navajo Churro without cutting.

We offer handspinning, dyeing of your cleaned fiber or yarn, and blending of several different fibers or colors.  We use Ashland Bay commericial fiber for blending.  

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 pillow tops.  (May we suggest a suede pillow 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.
