March 2026 update: We have decided not to pursue manufacturing the Hanker at this time.  

Meet the Hanker — a tool we’ve put to the test every day here at Junction Fiber Mill.

Designed to make skein handling faster and more consistent, the Hanker efficiently twists six skeins at a time into uniform, beautiful hanks. After years of refining and testing multiple versions in our working mill, this has become an irreplaceable part of our process.

The Hanker is made locally in Vermont using locally sourced cherry wood and custom-built aluminum components, combining durability with thoughtful design. It’s a hardworking, no-frills tool — and a perfect addition to your mill or dye studio.
