This video practically reduced me to tears. I majored in textiles at the University of Connecticut and graduated in 1974. Since then, what little textile industry the US had all but totally disappeared. Seeing your mill supporting local small farms, producing yarn of locally sourced fiber, and moving forward to create fabric ( golly, TEXTILES) again in the US makes me so darn happy! I have been sending money regularly to the scouring plant nearby you. I live in Idaho now, but should I come east again, I sure hope to visit you. Thank you so much for all you do. And it's interesting that everyone in this video is a woman. Woman power, rejuvenating the US textile industry, one sheep at a time.....

Great video! I remember touring the mill in person during the yarn hop in 2016. You've really expanded since then!
