Commission/Wholesale Work
The Studio can help you bring your ideas into reality whether you are a farmer growing your own fiber and looking for finished products, a designer looking to source local fibers for private label sales, or some combination of the spectrum. If you have your own fiber, we can help shepherd it through the scouring and milling process. We specialize in designing products to show off your fiber’s best qualities. If you are a designer, we can help you find high-quality local fiber and fiber blends that will showcase your designs. We have small minimums but can also handle larger orders, in a wide variety of bed and camp blankets, couch throws, wraps, shawls, scarves, table runners, upholstery, or pillow fabric, and sewing yardage. Contact me to inquire.
