About Twisted Strait Fibers:
Community. Education. Promotion. Sustainability. These are the words that describe their goals for Twisted Strait Fibers. They are a community of committed farmers and fiber artists located in the Pacific Northwest. Their desire is to educate, promote and sustain the production and use of fiber-bearing animals.
They are a cooperative. A cooperative is a business that is democratically owned and controlled (one member = one vote). In this way, people who benefit from the services it provides also own the entire process. With a cooperative there is no need to satisfy the income expectations of a single individual owner; profits are distributed evenly to the group.
