Abundant Earth Fiber was founded in 2014 by Lydia Christiansen as a small batch spinning mill specializing in high quality wool processing for local farms and fiber artists. Nestled on the south end of Whidbey Island, Lydia spent ten yarnful years scouring, carding and spinning a diverse range of wool breeds and natural fibers from producers all over the west coast. It was at her mill, surrounded by piles of local wool, where Lydia first experimented with her idea to use tea bags to hold dye for wool. With meticulous creativity and devotion to sustainable small batch wool she eventually launched Wool Tincture Dyes. Several years later in 2024, the milling equipment was sold and Abundant Earth Fiber relocated to a new home under the Appalachian highlands of Northeast Tennessee.

Though seasons and scenery change, Abundant Earth Fiber remains grounded in its founding belief. The earth gives abundantly, so we can thrive.

Through our work with natural fibers we find meaningful connections with the natural world, with ourselves and with each other.

We provide yarn, fiber, dyes and supplies to fiber artists of all kinds.

Our dye products are prepared by us using professional grade supermilling acid dyes and mx reactive dyes, also manufactured in the United States.

All of our yarns and fibers are sourced from wool that is raised and milled in the United States.
