Great Lakes Natural Fibers works to create innovative uses for wool and other animal and plant fibers that add value to products and benefit small-scale farmers and ranchers. Based in Wooster, Ohio, it processes wool that would otherwise go to waste into products such as wool pellets and needle-felted goods, using equipment including a wool shredder, pelletizer, and felting machine. The work aims to return fiber nutrients to farmland while supporting regional sheep producers left without a nearby wool buyer.
