Camels bison and…read more llamas North Light Fibers is a working yarn and textile mini mill that also has a little retail store. It was founded in 2008 and sells unique and luxury yarns from such exotic critters like llamas, alpacas, bison, camels and yaks that are kept near the mill. They also sell fibers from silk, bamboo and other natural things. The retail store has some extremely beautiful hand woven items like shawls, mittens and sweaters but the main business seems to sell the actually yarns that they get from the creatures. A fascinating place to look around and experience a whole different world. The mill also has lots of classes on knitting, crocheting and other crafts and has the goal of increasing environmental awareness and knowledge of these rather esoteric arts. Keeping, caring for and then shearing the animals and then hand weaving something from the hair is indeed becoming a lost art. One of the great things about North Lights are the creatures. No cages or small and cramped pens, all the animals roam free in wide open areas. You can actually walk up to the llamas and alpacas and get to see them doing the things llamas enjoy doing. The critters are all seem very mellow, contented and use to people and the parents didn't seem to mind at all when I went right up to the baby to take a pic. North Light Fibers isn't the easiest place to find but it's a unique place for anyone interested in knitting, crafts, farming, or just a cool place to see some very cute llamas. They are doing something different, creative, imaginative and very cool. A place that is worth the effort to find and one that you won't soon forget.

So convenient and exactly what we were looking for. I highly recommend them!

It's a standout in a little strip where the other stores I visited sold typical kitschy beachy stuff or things like signs that say "It's WINE O'clock somewhere!," most probably made in China. Simply Natural is like if Etsy, The Body Shop, and Ten Thousand Villages had a lovely little hybrid baby. There is a great assortment of jewelry, bath and body items, home decor, and baby stuff. There is an emphasis on items being natural or organic and fair trade. The shop owner was very friendly, and she in no way made me feel either pressured to buy or scared to break something. Prices are reasonable - not cheap, but fair, based on the uniqueness and quality of the items in the store. This would be a great go-to place for birthday, hostess, or baby/bridal shower gifts or gift add-ons. Some cute souvenir items, too!
