North Light Fibers

"Fantastic shop for special yarn, knit or woven projects that are made in partnership with awesome organizations (local and global) to provide working wages to artisans. If you are seeking a gift that is unique to Block Island, look here! North Light Fibers also hosts knitting retreats! I am excited to gather my fiber-loving friends for a getaway to Block Island to learn and craft from the renowned designers they bring in!"

"Beautiful wools beautiful pieces made in a variety of community village settings around the world but all the wool is from the farm."

"The woman in the shop was very rude. I purchased a barn owl felting kit for $25 and I was not given any tips and the directions in the bag are terrible. The alpacas were sweet, however, so that's why I gave 2 stars."

"What a sweet little shop!! I stopped here with my family on a recent trip to Block Island.. We were visiting the animals on the property and walked into the North Light Fibers shop to see what was inside.. We were greeted by a lovely young woman working there who had a very warm personality and answers for all of our (many) questions.. My children are really into needle felting and were very impressed with their selection of beautiful naturally died wool.. They have partnered with Udruzene, an association of talented Bosnian women, to whom they send raw materials and are sent back the most beautiful handmade items.. It’s part of an effort to empower and employ women from that war torn region.. If that sounds as amazing to you as it does to me, google them (Udruzene) and check them out!! North Light Fibers has a range of many beautiful clothing items, as well as jewelry, salves and kits and supplies for knitting and handcrafting your own!! If you’re the arts and crafts type and you find yourself on Block Island, make sure you visit North Light Fibers.. You will not be disappointed!!"

"North Light Fibers is Block Island's best hidden treasure, but it should be on every visitor's to-do list! Even if you're not a knitter or yarn lover, visiting the farm and mill is still worth the short walk from the ferry landing. The farm is home to so many cute animals - some expected (alpacas, sheep, goats), and many not (donkeys, camels, and a yak, to name a few!) - all of whom are very friendly! The free mill tour is really cool - you get to learn all about different types of fibers and see the machines in action. And if you are a yarn lover, North Light Fibers has a great selection of their gorgeous yarn for sale in their shop on the ground floor of the mill. Trust me, the farm is a must, and I can't wait to visit again!"
