The Feel of Farm Fresh Wool
Valley Ford Mercantile and Wool Mill is the proud new owner of Big Blue – a 15,000 pound industrial steel needle loom from North Carolina, the only needle loom West of the Rocky Mountains. Together with a carding machine from Ohio, a few washing machines, and a love of all things wool – our region’s newest wool processing facility is now open for business.
