The Mission of Equinox Yarns is to bring a tactile sense of place and purpose into the hands of fiber artists. With the pace of society bringing us to a fevered pitch, grounding is essential to our health and well-being. Fiber imparts calmness in the hand. Combined with knitting needles or a crochet hook, fiber offers productivity and purpose. Handmade garments are a source of pride, comfort and warmth, and an expression of affection as gifts.

The fiber chosen for Equinox Yarns is entirely Alpaca. These animals produce a fleece that has indulgent and practical qualities alike. Each skein of yarn is personalized with information about the animal who bore it, defining that sense of place and connection to the earth. The skeins are natural in color and full of character. Maine farms rear the alpacas, and Maine fiber mills spin the fleece for Equinox Yarns, making your purchase a uniquely Maine-made experience.
