Tour Echoview Fiber Mill

Echoview Fiber Mill is a spinning mill, knitting operation, and design house based in Weaverville, NC. We make exceptionally high quality and beautifully designed home goods, accessories, and craft knitting and weaving yarns using natural fibers like wool, alpaca, silk, mohair, and organic cotton. We are textile lovers, designers, and total creatures of comfort. Our work reflects who we are in a style that is both simple and modern. Our facility is a Gold LEED certified building, so sustainability is literally the foundation of everything we do and is taken into account in each decision we make.

We embrace an age where community means something deeply local, while also involving people all over the globe who share an interest and passion for the beauty of handmade things. Being just 15 minutes outside of downtown Asheville, and with our friends on social media, we get to constantly connect and collaborate with endlessly creative folks as they push the boundaries of the modern craft movement. We also work with friends who have been farming these rich mountains and beautifully crafting simple home goods out of locally sourced materials for generations. We’ve got one hand in the past, with our eye on the future.

We offer a free tour of the mill on Friday at 1:00 PM, or by appointment on other days of the week to groups of 10 or more. If you’re interested in having a tour, please reach out through the contact form linked above!
