About Yarn Factory

We are a full-service, custom fiber mill that works with farms big and small to add value to your fiber. We turn your raw fiber into roving, yarn, and more. Yarn Factory was started with the idea that fiber processing can be streamlined and made more approachable for farms – regardless of their size. 

Yarn Factory is located in Colfax, North Dakota, just 25 minutes south of Fargo and only 2 miles off Interstate 29. 

We’ve been involved in the industry for many years, both as fiber producers and fiber processors. Through our farm, Ten Seven Acres, we’ve raised numerous ribbon-winning alpacas and have mentored other farms in our area as they began their alpaca journey. Jessie also has  years of experience working in the artisan fiber mill industry since 2015.

About Jessie Monson

Jessie leads the day-to-day operations for Yarn Factory. She previously worked at Dakota Fiber Mill in Kindred, North Dakota for over five years, processing raw animal fiber into finished roving and yarn for farms all across the United States. Her experience has allowed her to develop a unique eye for helping farms understand the best ways to process their fiber.

Through her and Dirk’s farm, Ten Seven Acres, Jessie oversees the herd of about 25 alpacas in nearby Galchutt, North Dakota. She also has been a vendor at many local markets, selling one-of-a-kind fiber products created from their alpaca herd.

 

About Dirk Monson

When he’s not working with the mill, he’s probably hugging his favorite alpaca, Penelope, and his favorite huarizo, Daphne.
