wool mill

Fiber processing facility

A wool mill is a factory where raw wool is processed into yarn or fabric.

The term covers facilities that perform various stages of wool production—washing, carding, spinning, and weaving.

Many historic wool mills, particularly in New England and Britain, have been converted to other uses: The old wool mill is now luxury apartments.
