Open Farm Days | Custom Woolen Mills

Open Farm Days | Custom Woolen Mills in Carstairs offers mill tours that reveal how local wool becomes cozy, long-lasting yarns and textiles. Visitors can step inside one of Canada’s few remaining full-service woolen mills to see traditional equipment in action and learn how raw fleece is cleaned, carded, spun and woven. Knowledgeable staff share stories about the animals that supply the fibre and the skills needed to turn it into everyday essentials. After the tour, guests can browse the on-site shop for Canadian-made yarn, blankets, batting and thoughtful wool gifts. It is an engaging stop for fibre lovers, curious families and travellers interested in Alberta’s agricultural and textile heritage.
