Tregellys Fiber Farm, with its exotic animal residents, weaving studios, dye studio and retail shop featuring yarns, raw fiber for handspinners, sweater knitting kits and finished handwovens, is well worth a turn off the Mohawk Trail or even a special trip.

If you're going...

Location: Tregellys Fiber Farm and Shades Natural Kettle Dye Studio are located at 15 Dodge Branch Road in Hawley, Massachusetts.

Directions: From Route 91, take Route 2 (the Mohawk Trail) West, pass Shelburne Falls, and just after the overpass, turn right on Route 112 South toward Ashfield.
