Embark on a journey through time and tradition as a monk from a Catholic monastery in New Mexico takes you into the heart of Mora's historic wool mill. Nestled in the picturesque Mora River Valley, this mill's roots trace back to the Jacarilla Apaches, Spanish conquistadors, and French fur trappers in the 1600s and 1700s. Explore how the valley thrived, becoming a vital stop on the Santa Fe Trail by 1835 and earning the title of the Breadbasket of New Mexico.

Witness the convergence of spirituality and craftsmanship as we delve into the process of turning wool into yarn. The Mora Valley Spinning Mill, housed in a historic mercantile building on State Route 518, stands as a testament to the valley's rich history. Discover the legacy of old-time artisans and immerse yourself in the art of spinning, a craft that has sustained the valley for generations. Visit the mill to acquire beautiful rugs, woven creations, and a mesmerizing collection of mill-spun natural fiber yarns. Join us in weaving the threads of the past into the fabric of the present.
