We offer high quality, sustainable yarn, roving and dyes to hand crafters of all ages and abilities through our two brands, Abundant Earth Fiber and Wool Tincture Dyes.
Our community of spinners, knitters, weavers, felters and dyers have a passion for natural materials and sustainable practices.
For us, sustainable craft is much more than just yarn. It is our connection with the natural world, the satisfaction of meaningful work, and the relationships we build with each other in the process.
At the heart of all we do is the belief that the earth gives abundantly for us to thrive.
We value thoughtful stewardship of natural materials and hope to leave the path smoother for future generations by :
We are Alan and Lydia Christiansen. Founded in 2014 Abundant Earth began as a small batch custom fiber processing mill on Whidbey Island in Washinton State.
Dedicated to quality and sustainability, our mill team spent ten wonderful years scouring, carding and spinning yarn for local farms and hand crafters. Inspired by a love for wool and an intimate knowledge of the wool community we created the Modern Wool Podcast and the School of Wool, our online community for hobbyists and professionals devoted to small batch wool. Early in 2024, facing the loss of our building lease, we made the monumental decision to sell our processing equipment.
Soon after the mill was sold and settled into its new home, we decided to also relocate our family and business. Our move brought us closer to family in the southeast United States where American folk arts and textile manufacturing still thrive.
At home now in the heart of Appalachia, Abundant Earth Fiber continues to offer high quality, sustainable yarn, roving and dyes for hand crafters.
We welcome you to visit our yarn shop and knitting lounge equipped with a comfortable place to sit and knit as well as our in-house Dye Bar!
Stop by when the weather is pleasant and enjoy our creekside picnic area where you can fish for trout, or take the walking bridge for a scenic stroll along the Tweetsie Trail.
We look forward to growing new circles of friends, hosting special events, and discovering the best natural fibers here in the Southeast.
