the Monthly Wrap - May 2026
What’s New?
Our Glove Machine Has Arrived
After months of waiting, our new glove‑knitting machine has finally arrived from the factory overseas. This machine is specifically designed to knit gloves, from fingerless to mittens and everything in between. Once it’s powered up, we’ll begin testing, tuning, and learning its rhythm, as we start developing our first run of knitted gloves. This is a completely new process for us to learn, and we love to share with you how we navigate this new task.

Shout Out to Rach-Al-Paca Fiber Processing
Montana Fiber Spun into Yarn
This month marks another milestone we’ve been working toward for years: our first batch of yarn spun from our own herd has arrived! The team at Rach‑Al‑Paca Fiber Processing in Hastings, Minnesota transformed our locally sourced alpaca fleeces—including our very first Sapphire Alpaca Suri fiber—into beautifully balanced, small‑batch yarn. It’s a special moment to hold yarn that began right here on our farm and was finished by skilled hands in the Midwest. We’re excited to begin working with it and to share what comes next.
April Top Sellers
April featured the large mammals of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Between elk, grizzly and bison, these iconic animals surely represent the Spirit of the West. It’s fun to see the variety of scarves that our customers choose. There is truly something for everyone. Our top sellers from last month are:
Elk Fair Isle Scarf
Buffalo Geometric Checkered Scarf
Grizzly Bear Scarf
