Yampa Valley Fiberworks is the Business of the Year in Moffat County. Lewis and Lorrae Moon are the owners and operators where they process natural fibers into yarn products.
“We take a bunch of old dirty stinkin’ sheep fleeces and make them into beautiful yarn.”
The Moons have 55 head of sheep which is where they get all of their wool. They make the yarn and it all goes back to their storefront. The facility is about nine miles north of Craig at 41180 North Hwy 13.
People also send them natural fibers from sheep, alpaca, llama, buffalo, yak, and goat.
“We have customers from all over the United States that ship stuff to us. Tell us how they want it processed. We process it and ship it back to them.”
Yampa Valley Fiberworks has been in operation for a little over ten years.
