Welcome to Mid Valley Fibers.  Here you will find handcrafted fiber goods of all kinds.  Do you want to own an heirloom alpaca shawl?  Maybe a fun and funky ruana or shawl of many colors is more to your liking.  Linda Minnick of Mid Valley Fibers has created these beautiful, handcrafted knit, crocheted and beaded accessories as well as gift items. Created with a vast array of colors and fibers, these accessories are unique and cannot be duplicated.  These make great gifts, but don't forget to splurge on yourself!  And be sure to check out our angel collection.  Linda has created handspun yarns to add to your stash or make that special handknit design you've been dreaming about.

Mid Valley Fibers began as an effort to help raise funds for research to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. Our grandson, Noah was diagnosed with CF on Christmas Eve in 2002.  Help us support this effort while fulfilling your need for soft, luxurious yarns and hand knits.

Want to learn more about Mid Valley Fibers?  We have a brief overview of why we do this.  It's a family effort and family is the main reason behind these creations.

We have dedicated this fiber adventure to our family members and their struggles with Cystic Fibrosis.  Our Dedication Page introduces you to Noah, our grandson who is living with CF and our true CF angel, Tracy Corun.  Read Noah and Tracy's story is on our Dedication Page.

Learn more about Cystic Fibrosis and why we feel so strongly that a cure must be found.  Here you'll also find the Story of 65 Roses.  Be sure to check it out.  It almost breaks your heart -- it did ours.

Do your travel plans include Maryland?  Plan a visit to our studio.  Be sure to call ahead -- we're only open by appointment.  We might be out at a show, attending a seminar or maybe even tied up with a family commitment -- so be sure to call ahead and we'll be happy to show you around our fiber studio.  We're located in the beautiful Middletown Valley nestled between the Catoctin Mountains and South Mountain.  If the Civil War interests you, then a trip to this area will yeild up plenty to see and do.  We're close to Antietam, Gettysburg, Harper's Ferry, South Mountain and Frederick - home of the National Civil War Museum of Medicine.  Throw in a little fiber and what a perfect weekend or day trip you'll have.
