Long Island Yarn and Farm is our special guest on the Yarn Thing Podcast

Long Island Yarn & Farm is an amazing small business. I have been using their hand salve to keep my hands from drying out throughout the winter. It is perfect for those of us that work with our hands since you can put it directly on the ares that need help. Learn more about their salve, yarn and their farm.

About Long Island Yarn and Farm:

Long Island Yarn & Farm is the most diverse supplier of local raw fiber, roving and yarn on Long Island, utilizing fiber from their own farm as well as from others, all shorn by Founder, Tabbethia Haubold. They are committed to the well being of camelids and all other livestock. Long Island Yarn & Farm’s award winning llamas and fleeces speak for the quality of the fiber they have to offer for the spinner’s and knitter’s delight. Their product offerings include raw fiber, roving, hand spun and homespun yarns, hand made lanolin skincare, finished fiber products and hand-knit items.

Tabbethia resides in Yaphank, NY on a 17 acre fiber farm that is home to a herd of about 20 llamas, along with an alpaca, sheep, angora goats, angora rabbits and pot bellied pigs. With a BS in Animal Science and an original love affair with horses, Tabbethia began raising llamas in 1997 and then started showing in 2001 on the local, regional and national level. As an educator by nature and profession, she utilizes her animals for educational programming for both youth and adults in various venues. Tabbethia also has an extensive shearing business that involves over 1,000 animals. She travels from VT to GA and everywhere in between to shear llamas, alpacas, angora goats, and sheep.

Each skein of Long Island Yarn & Farm yarn is labeled with the following message from Tabbethia:

“Shearing is an intimate process between the animals and myself. My relationship to them is always one of patience and positive approach. Fiber, wool, and mohair are the by-products from the animals I work with. Long Island Yarn & Farm uses this fiber in the creation of our own yarns. These yarns put a face with the fiber, and through the hand knit garments they make, connect people to the animals we love.”

    I feel in love with Llama’s when my now 19 and 20 yrs old boys became obsessed with the “empire’s new groove”. It would be so cool to have a llama to have the personality of Kuzco.
    Now my daughters are just as obsessed with collecting toy llama’s

    What a wonderful podcast! Really enjoyed learning about fiber farming with Llamas, Alpacas and Angora. So informative! Especially loved the animals on the show and the pig was so cute! How beautiful was the brown, black and white Llama she bought into the camara! Your endorsement of the body butter and salve helped me decide to put a jar in the hubby’s Christmas stocking as he gets awful dry skin in the winter. Will need to get some when I’m at the Sheep & Wool show in a couple of weeks!

    Hi, I enjoyed this podcast immensely and it was so educational. I thought Evan, the llama was so adorable. I use to work in a hospital and one of the ointments used for diabetic skin care was lanolin but it isn’t used anymore. I hope to win the lanolin products because I do have very dry skin.I will definitely have to purchase some the yarn.
    Great podcast.
