Work-In List Re-Opening January, 2019
November 13th, 2018Thanks to everyone who continues to have us process their fiber … we appreciate it. As you know, we try to accommodate as many customer orders as possible by not only utilizing our reservation system but also by maintaining a work-in list for certain types of jobs (wash-pick-card). Our work-in list is ready to re-open and we will begin accepting work-in jobs in January, 2019. If you have some processing that fits the criteria and would like to be on the list, please contact us as soon as possible. The work-in list can fill up quickly. Thank you!
Work-In List Closed for Remainder of 2018
July 18th, 2018Thanks to everyone who continues to have us process their fiber … we appreciate it. As you know, we try to accommodate as many customer orders as possible by not only utilizing our reservation system but by maintaining a work-in list for certain types of jobs (wash-pick-card). Our work-in list is now quite long and as a result we are temporarily halting the acceptance of any additional work-in jobs for the remainder of 2018. If it looks like we are getting thru that list faster than anticipated, we will re-open it as soon as possible. Thank you!

The Equipment is Here!
April 29th, 2012On April 25 the Belfast Mini Mill equipment arrived! The next day was spent setting up the equipment and then training began. How nice that VFM&S has hired 3 great employees and has 600+ lbs of alpaca, wool and mohair to train and practice with. You can view photos of the mill installation on Facebook at Vermont Fiber Mill, including the photo of our first yarn!
