BENNY FIBERS
Benny Fibers is a small local wool business, slowly downsizing. We carry wool blend combed top, and odds and ends of fibers for felting, blending and tapestry type weaving. We also custom dye natural protein fibers.
After 20 years of networking in fiberland, if we don’t have what you are looking for, we will see if we can help you find it!
